News Release: FLOOR360’s Design for a Difference Madison Makeover Revealed October 15

FLOOR360'S DESIGN FOR A DIFFERENCE MAKEOVER AT COMMON THREADS
FAMILY RESOURCE CENTER UNVEILED OCTOBER 15 9:30AM

Madison WI (October 11, 2022) – FLOOR360, provider of high-fashion flooring and designs announced that Common Threads Family Resource Center, Madison WI will see results of their free Design for a Difference Makeover on October 15 at 9:30am. Since June, an all-volunteer group of interior designers have worked with a group of local businesses, suppliers, installers, painters, and other volunteers to plan and provide a much-needed interior design makeover for Common Threads Family Resource Center, 1717 Stoughton Road Madison, WI. The non-profit organization empowers young individuals with autism, mental health, and sensory differences by providing meaningful support to them and their families.

The size of the makeover covers approximately 5,500 sq ft inside Common Threads. There will be new flooring throughout that space, new paint, furnishings and much more that remains a closely guarded secret until the staff at Common Threads sees it for the first time on October 15. The staff has not been back to that space in their building since September 30, and are eager to see how the power of design transformed their space in an ‘open your eyes’ style event.

FLOOR360 collected nominations for the 2022 Design for a Difference Makeover from March through May of 2022. The Design for a Difference Madison selection committee met and reviewed all the nominations then performed site visits to see a select few in person. FLOOR360 representatives gave the news to Kate Poppe and the leadership team on May 19, 2022 that Common Threads Family Resource Center is the Design for a Difference Madison Makeover recipient for 2022.

There are three phases in the 2022 Design for a Difference / Common Threads makeover process:

*Design Team Planning – June

*Designing and Procuring Materials – July through August

*Demolition, Painting, Installation – September and October

A variety of sponsors and volunteers have donated time, money and materials to make the Design for a Difference Madison makeover happen since 2015. FLOOR360 coordinates the services of local interior designers and business partners to help a local non-profit make over their space so they can focus on their programs, services and mission. To date, cumulatively, there have been over 500 Madison and Milwaukee volunteers and businesses involved, over 2 million dollars in labor and materials donated, and over 40,000 individuals impacted.
