LaurelHouse Designs Donates to For Your Home Gala

November 19, 2014  by in Designer Weekly   

The For Your Home gala was held in the home in the Morrocroft neighborhood in Charlotte. The event raised money for the oncology/hematology clinic at Levine Children’s Hospital. 

More than 150 guests toured the home, met the designers and craftsmen, and participated in a silent auction for the contemporary furnishings selected by FYH host, Vicki Payne.

LaurelHouse Designs donated seven pieces to the show house including accent tables and chests for the living room, dining room, master and guest bedrooms and home office.

Sponsored by Charlotte Living Magazine, the event will be featured in an upcoming episode of For Your Home (FYH), one of the longest running national home and garden television series on PBS.

Payne, FYH host and designer, transformed the 30-year-old Morrocroft home into a contemporary show place. This is a very personal cause for all the FYH family. The FYH general contractor, Josh Jones’ daughter Libby was 3 years old when she lost her battle with leukemia a few short months ago.

“LaurelHouse Designs was happy to participate in this worthy project,” said John Labarowski, president and founder of LaurelHouse Designs. “Cancer touches the lives of so many, and it is especially heartbreaking when children are affected.”

Founded in 2012, LaurelHouse Designs’ collections of occasional and accent furniture are designed to correlate with better upholstery in both the living and family room, and the accent furniture is designed to create interest in every room in the home.
