More About Design House

With Design House, SHE hopes to offer a tangible reminder of the home we would wish for each person in our community: a haven of love and laughter, free from fear and violence. No matter how different the structures of our dwellings may be, surely they can all share that quality at heart, because peace on earth begins at home.

In its inaugural year, Design House brought together 17 designers to transform a contemporary Ednam Forest house. Design House 2011 was extended to two weeks and offered additional special events as well as a small café. Over 20 designers and many more vendors and suppliers, as well as significant contributors, combined their creative visions and donations or loans of paint, tile, rugs and furnishings. The results brought an appreciative stream of visitors.

The Design House Leadership Committee, designers, local businesses, financial sponsors, and donors of in-kind services are once again volunteering their time, talents, goods, and monies to raise funds to support the important work of the Shelter and create a home tour designed to inspire not only ideas but also hope and tranquility.
