Brittany's Place Remodel: Thank You

The past few months have been busy at 180 Degrees' Brittany’s Place. As you may know, we had a full remodel of our St. Paul shelter for girls and young women who've experienced trafficking. Our heartfelt gratitude to the American Society of Interior Designers (ASID) for working together with 180 Degrees and Brittany’s Place staff. We are amazed at their generosity. Their talent and contributions have: 

• Converted first-floor office space to create new bedrooms for more clients. 
• Remodeled the Welcome Room creating a much more inviting first-impression for new clients.
• Provided beautiful new rugs, textiles, and furniture for the lounge, main area, and bedrooms for added comfort. 
• Remodeled second-floor bedrooms, complete with new paint, sheets, and art.
• Retouched murals and placed new art installations in the lounge.

ASID and many other individuals and organizations helped transform and revitalize Brittany’s Place into a more comfortable and healing environment for girls and young women who've experienced trauma associated with sex trafficking.

If you need interior design, we highly recommend ASID and the other creative and generous businesses below.

Thank you for your donations, expertise, and support. Brittany’s Place feels more like a home for girls who have experienced unique traumas due to sex trafficking and violence.
