Laurel Beck Design and Stylish Kids Rooms to Design Bedrooms for Charity in Colorado Springs

Adopted Children Receive New Rooms from Remnant Restoration, a Non-Profit Ministry of Design for Widows and Orphans

Remnant Restoration, a non-profit ministry of design for widows and orphans in Colorado, will create three bedrooms for six children on January 17 with help from e-retailer Stylish Kids Rooms and Colorado Springs-based interior design firm, Laurel Beck Design. The children of Motte and Beth Brown, four of whom were adopted last month from Ethiopa, are the recipients of the free bedroom makeovers.

This project is part of a ongoing collaboration between the two businesses and the non-profit organization to provide free interior design, landscaping, and home organization services to widows and recently-adopted children in southern Colorado. In fact, the non-profit was founded by Interior Designer Laurel Beck who serves as the President and Director of Design. "This ministry is about acting on the biblical calling to serve widows and orphans in their time of need. We just want to help in some small way--to restore hope to a grieving widow or bring joy to a child who's never had a room of his own. Through design, we can do that."

The project has not been without challenges. The team from Laurel Beck Design and Stylish Kids Rooms has worked feverishly for several weeks in preparation for this project. They were challenged to design the three bedrooms on a shoestring budget since Remnant Restoration fell short of its fundraising goals for this quarter. And with the retail industry in a slump, financial support from corporate sponsors was slim. Fortunately, the ministry's volunteer staff is comprised of artists, designers, and skilled crafts people who are experienced in stretching every dollar. "The designs are fantastic and we're very excited that we are going to be able to complete this project, even in this tough economy," says Beck.
