Thank You for doing this! There is no more important use for design skills then helping others. if I lived on the west coast I would show up in support. I've spent years redesigning shelters for victims of domestic violence in Washington DC.
Thank you so much, Vanessa! All the rooms were beautiful, and we at Upward Bound are so appreciative of the time and effort you took to put this together. Our new residents will be so thrilled.
nice post. thanks.
