The Renovation is Complete: Jonathan's Place


During the last several months I have been participating, as a member of the Interior Design Society, in the renovation of the Mike Modano Cottage at Jonathan’s Place. An effort that touched my heart.

JP is a shelter for abandoned and neglected children. With the help of some VERY generous vendors, we were able to refurbish the interiors into a warm, comfortable and fun place for the children who pass through. We had such a great time, I wanted to share some pictures with you.

That's me on the right with Lisa Mathews, CEO and Founder of JP; An amazing woman who has dedicated her life to the kids.



The main living area showcases a beautiful mural of the JP logo.


In the playroom, a "Tree of Life" served as the canvas for IDS members and JP staff to place their handprints to create it's leaves. The perimiter "flowers" are the handprints of some of the children.


The nursery has a barnhouse motif.

Great Job IDS!!
