Habitat for Humanity Design Duel Competition Needs Your Votes

Blog· Entertainment

Two renowned interior design firms are competing for the chance to win Dallas Area Habitat for Humanity’s second Design Duel. Known for their award-winning designs, both firms have captivated our two lucky finalists with their ideas and creativity.

The contest paired the two local interior designers with two deserving Dallas homeowners. This year, Royeni Tjoa and Ayla Hawley’s homes have gone from dated to renovated, thanks to Carolina Gentry (Pulp Design Studios) and Breck Woolsey (Breckinridge Taylor).Carolina and Breck were each given just three weeks and $3,000 worth of materials from Dallas Habitat’s ReStores to transform Royeni and Ayla’s space.

Now that the transformations are complete, they two interior designers are campaigning for votes on www.designduel.org (you can view before/after photos here to help with your decision).
