Not just another designing diva, this former teen beauty queen is also a do-it-yourself darling with passion for all things self-created from fabrics to fashions to foods.

It is a pleasure to have Kelly on board with the GSCDP and we are thrilled to have had the chance to ask her a few questions about being involved with the project.

TP: How did you hear about the GS Design Project? 
KE: Through the DNG Blog.

TP: Why did you choose to design a room?
KE: It is the least I could do. I’ve been blessed with many great things and it feels good to give back and help people who really need it. 

TP: What do you think the biggest challenge of the project will be?
KE: Right now, its donations, making them all cohesively work together and picking out the perfect rug...hahaha

TP: Do you have an inspirational photo for this project?
KE: Since Z Gallerie was gracious enough to donate furniture and artwork to this project I am focusing my room design on what we were given.  I have this gigantic print that incorporates browns, pinks, grays and a few other neutrals. I’m hoping to work around this. It'll be my centerpiece.

TP: What are you most looking forward to with the project?
KE: Working alongside all the other talented and amazing designers on this project. It’s really when people come together that great things happen.

TP: All the rooms at Good Shepherd are dorm size, what advice or tip do you have for someone decorating a space this small? 
KE: Have fun!  A small space doesn’t have to feel that way. Add splashes of color, mix textures together and make sure you have plenty of storage. Everyone needs storage!  And maybe
