When the father of her three children was killed in a drive-by
shooting twelve years ago, Donniecia Allen pressed on, working two
jobs and taking business classes at night, determined to someday
own a home for her family. Her hard work and determination was
rewarded with the purchase of a four-bedroom brick ranch home in
Orleans Parish four years ago, but her dream was soon shattered
when Hurricane Katrina hit; her family lost everything, and their
home was deemed uninhabitable. Thanks to a grant from Louisiana�s
The Road Home program, Donniecia has been reconstructing the home
she worked so hard for, and has begun to move back in. Then she�ll
decorate�with a little help from Glamour magazine. Lifestyle editor
Joanna Bober is advising her on everything from paint colors to
throw pillows; meantime, Joanna has partnered with Ethan Allen to
donate the living room furniture. Glamour will unveil Donniecia�s
newly renovated home in an upcoming issue. �Everything Donniecia
had worked so hard to achieve was destroyed,� said Ethan Allen
Style Director Farah Kathwari. �When Joanna reached out to us to
provide furnishings for the family�s home, we didn�t waste any
time. Our Style team quickly went to work, pulling together
everything the Allens would need for a chic and eclectic
family-friendly living room that they could enjoy for years to
come.� �We want to thank Glamour for the opportunity to participate
in such a rewarding project, and we send our best wishes to
Donniecia and her family. Our friends at Kirshman�s, an authorized
Ethan Allen retailer in Metairie, delivered the furnishings to the
Allen family just in time for the holidays, and we look forward to
seeing Donniecia's story and her completed home in an upcoming
issue of Glamour,� added Ms. Kathwari. Ethan Allen Interiors Inc.
