The Shannon rug is named after an alias chosen by a Furnishing Futures beneficiary. Every design is paired with a personal reflection from its namesake, sharing how receiving a healing home has helped restore confidence, safety and dignityโฆ

โAfter fleeing domestic violence again and again for more than ten years there was always something we had to leave behind. It was extremely difficult, trying to rebuild my life each time with limited support and resources. I felt like I was letting my child down because I couldnโt afford to furnish our home. At times I considered returning to the abusive relationship so my child would have a bed to sleep in.
Words canโt describe what our lovely new home means to me. I sit for hours in silence, just in shock staring at all the lovely things. I canโt believe itโs mine and I have somewhere safe for me and my child to live now with flooring, furniture and white goods.
Furnishing Futures not only furnished my new home for myself and my child, but most importantly gave us a fresh start, a new beginning. We can finally begin our healing journey in a clean, safe and beautiful environment. From the furniture to the books and kind notes filled with support and love, we are eternally grateful.โ
