Design With A Cause

Not to state the obvious but yes, it's been over year since our last post.  And what a year its been, from babies, to promotions, new jobs to new homes.  Needless to say its been one hectic year, and sadly our little blog has suffered from some serious neglect.  But I'm happy to say Chocomeh is back! And what better way to motivate our newly inspired urge to blog, than a volunteer opportunity to give back through design!

Nancy and I have been very fortunate to come across a wonderful opportunity to design an office at a housing complex owned by the Downtown Women's Center in Los Angeles.  To read more about DWC and the amazing work they're doing click here.  There are some existing criteria we will need to work within including: the need for two desks/workstations, the existing Baby Fawn wall color by Benjamin Moore, the dusty rose color from the adjoining kitchen, the two-story tall ceiling height, and the smaller than a peanut budget. 

Here are some before photos of the space....

While we have only recently joined this inspiring cause, its been such a rewarding experience.  And we're both excited and grateful to be able to help through design and what we love to do.
 
To continue reading about the project, including our concept and how you can help it a reality, visit the Charity page located at the top of our blog.  And be sure to continue checking in as we will be posting updates and of course the final reveal in October!

Thanks for stopping by!
