Non for profit story
We don’t just create beautiful spaces for fancy residential properties, or commercial areas, we work with non-for profit organisations and create spaces for people in need.
We use our skills to create warm, comfortable and engaging spaces on smaller budgets and utilise our extensive knowledge of furniture to select just the right pieces that are functional, long lasting and compliment the space. Here is an example of a common story for someone moving into one of the single room spaces we have created.
She walked shyly through the front door, grasping a plush teddy and a plastic bag that contains everything she owns. Her mind races to her displaced siblings and tears well in her eyes. Her slumped shoulders protect her broken heart and the fear of an unknown future has put a furrow on her brow. Georgia is 12 and because of circumstances beyond her control she finds herself in a five bedroom house with strangers that are to become her new home for now.
She is taken to a room, a place just for her, carefully and thoughtfully decorated to make her feel safe and warm. As she peers in she sees a brightly coloured bed cover with an extra blanket trimmed in babbles like a Mexican shawl, placed neatly on the end. There is an owl shaped pillow who’s eyes sparkle from the soft pink lamp on the bedside table. A bundle of books are stacked on the shelf below. On the wall hang two prints, watercolours of Forrest pine trees and the other a nest containing 3 unhatched eggs. Near the chest of drawers is a small heater that has warmed the air inside the room but it is the smell of jasmine from a defuser that she can taste as she breathes in a sigh of relief. Inside the drawers there are t-shirts, jeans and a jumper. In another drawer is deodorant, hair brush and ties, shampoo, conditioner and a bottle of perfume. She bends down and runs her fingers through a shag pile rug on the floor and then reaches out and touches the broad leaves of an indoor palm in the corner. A jar of Minties, a pencil case and notebook have been neatly placed on the desk that looks out the window. A silver frame takes pride of place. It contains a photo of her sister and brother who she will see once a week over the coming months. Georgia opens the cupboard door to find a warm dressing gown hanging up next top a school uniform. Below is a pair of slippers and black leather school shoes. She slowly turns back towards the door and sees a school bag hanging on the hook – it contains the new opportunities she has been given to learn all she can to become who she is meant to be. She whispers ‘thank you’.
