Welcome to the Washington Women’s Shelter, Inc’s Time to Shine! Makeover Project. Time to Shine! was initiated by Mary Fasnacht of Feels Like Home Interiors and Diane Beck of Vibrant Interiors. Both Pittsburgh home staging experts, Mary and Diane have chosen to donate their design knowledge and skills to help the Washington Women’s Shelter continue providing a welcoming and comfortable place for those in our community needing safe refuge from domestic abuse.

Those impacted by abuse or the threat of abuse often find themselves and their children needing refuge on very short notice and frequently arrive at the facility with only the clothes on their backs. These individuals deserve a welcoming environment that helps them feel comfortable during this very stressful time in their lives.

The mission of Washington Women’s Shelter, Inc. is to increase awareness of domestic violence and its effect on the community, to empower those victimized by providing advocacy and safe and effective services, and to work for social change designed to eliminate domestic violence.  The Washington Women’s Shelter provides services to those in our community whose lives are impacted by abuse or the threat of abuse. As part of their services, the shelter offers safe, temporary housing in a warm, welcoming, comfortable environment.

Located in Washington, PA, the Washington Women’s Shelter has served more than 32,000 individuals since opening its doors in 1984. Housed in an older home, time and the sheer number of guests have taken a toll on the facility and its furnishings.

This is precisely why Mary and Diane have partnered with the Washington Women’s Shelter in the Time to Shine! Makeover Project. And in order for this worthwhile project to succeed, they need your help.
