The century-old residence, purchased in 1981, was showing signs of wear. Patchy paint. Threadbare carpeting. Worn furniture. And the center had no funds for a pricey renovation project.
That’s where Floor360 comes in. Every year since 2015, the Wisconsin flooring showroom and design firm has teamed up with the national organization Design for a Difference to completely remodel the space of a deserving nonprofit in the Madison area. This year, with the opening of a Milwaukee showroom, Floor360 branched out to take on a second project in this area and selected the Walker’s Point Youth and Family Center to receive the makeover.
Kelly Kuehn, a design studio manager for Floor360, and her team members worked with center employees to reimagine the space. They also reached out to local designers and community members to solicit help, in the form of donations or volunteer hours.
The transformation, taking place in October, includes lots of painting, laying down new flooring and bringing new furniture into the bedrooms and common spaces.
“I hope it will be inspiring for them,” Kuehn says.
