Carpets & Floors in the Lighthouse District is seeking donations for a YWCA makeover project! This is a picture of what the lobby of the YWCA’s domestic violence clinic offices looked like originally. Carpets and Floors has teamed up with Michelle Pheasant Designs to transform it, as the appearance of a room effects emotions and comfort levels, and it's important for scared children and mothers fleeing domestic violence to be reassured by a warm, welcoming space.

Using Carpets & Floors resources and engaging others in the design community to give, they've been able to get all of the necessary labor donated and most of the materials to do the makeover. However, they still need to purchase about $2,500 worth of goods. Carpets & Floors is going ahead with the project with the belief that more help will develop so they can completely remake the lobby. You can help them make a difference by giving a donation through Crowdrise. Crowdrise is a secure way to insure yourself that your funds go directly to making over the Y’s lobby.
