We realize all matter of furnishings are needed when the homeless becomes “with home” and we are here to help that cause.
Wall decor can set the dimensions of your room by hanging some nice colorful works of art on the walls. It sort of “puts” the walls there in the room. A fancy koi fish tapestry contemporary wall decor is wonderful, but so it the artwork of your children to hang on the walls.
Whatever the decorations for the walls may be, be sure to add something cheerful and colorful to help make your new house a home.

It does not matter how fancy your new house is, you want to make sure you turn it into a home, as soon as possible. One way to do that is to add an area rug to the main or your favorite room in your home. The room where your family and friends gather to chat and play games.
Kids can sit on the rug a not a drafty floor, and adults will sit in chairs placed strategically around the rug.. making a nice focal point in the room and a definitive area to sit and enjoy each others company in comfort.
Donations have been plentiful with home decor accessories, mainly area rugs… lots of them have been coming in… thanks.

You’d be surprised to know that donations do include oriental rugs. They are not in good shape, but even a thread-barren oriental rug is amazingly beautiful and they durable. These old area rugs will hold up another 10 years or more, and that’s when it’s probably over a fifty or more years old, already. Of course, a well cared for rug can last a lifetime and well into the next generations, too.
The great big important and popular ones are the Authentic Oriental Kazak Rugs. Well sought after are these rugs with their bold colors and geometric patterns originating from the Orient. We are always on the look out for the Kazak rugs and maybe one day we shall get lucky to have many more donated.

We received another batch of wonderful donations from our good people that care. One stood out to us, as it was and oriental rug. It was small and tattered, but was probably so beautiful in the colors and craftmenship in it’s day… what a surprise to get this sweet little area rug.
We ended up giving it to a small child who came in with his mother and a pack of dogs. The little girl wanted a nice bed for her doggie. We felt it was not much use more than to make this little girl happy and run out the door to her pup and give him a hug and put the little rug down for him to lay upon. And the doggie actually lay down right on the rug and the little girl right beside him.
Simple pleasures.
