Justina Blakeney Is Helping Furnish Homes for Families Transitioning From Homelessness
Having a vision is one thing. But it's what comes next—the risk-taking and recruiting, the sleepless nights and countless hours—that turn that dream into a reality. House Beautiful's 2020 Visionaries have done all that and then some, creating innovative brands and companies that will come to change the way we decorate.
Equipped with 374,000 Instagram followers (plus blog readers), designer Justina Blakeney is in a position to influence—and affect change. To “bring some beauty into the lives of families,” she’s teamed with Pen & Napkin, a nonprofit that pairs people transitioning from homelessness with designers who help furnish their homes. “An empty house does not make a home,” says Blakeney, who, with partners, furnished an entire home for a family. “I hope that I’m helping to make good design accessible to people from all walks of life.”
