Not only has Melanie rescued the Goods from some design challenges, but she also helps rescue women & men from trafficking. Melanie is an avid traveler & provides us with an exclusive list of her favorite spots in the Midwest!
// Design Info
Wallpaper: use it - it adds a visual point of interest. Search "peel and stick wallpaper" with the color/design you want.
Paint: The new neutrals are creamy whites & variations of greige. No yellow undertones!
Lighting: try ultra-daylight bulbs and your rooms will go from yellow to white!
Design "no no" for Farmhouse Décor: the "X" symbol in the barn doors, tables, etc... keep at a minimum! Update your look with straight lines & minimal detail.

Common forms of recruitment into Sex Trafficking:

How to spot a trafficker and/or victim:
- “Parents” with children: child uncomfortable, fear, no eye contact, abuse/somethings wrong, child hypersexualized

- Truck Stop: watch for young women/men entering trucker cabs.
- Branded tattoos: bar codes, daddy’s girl, my bi***

Many short videos on YouTube do a great job explaining trafficking
