Chairs: SOHO girls and mentors sanded, primed, and painted chairs purchased from a thrift store. The chairs feature the 2 colors that each girl gets to choose at the beginning of the program for her personal color scheme. Ultimately, the chairs will be paired with the desks that the girls make so that positive study habits are encouraged.
Embellished mirrors: SOHO girls and mentors created mirrors using a $5 mirror frame and glass marbles and shards. Some girls chose to design their mirrors with hearts and flowers while other girls chose to design their mirrors with a more abstract pattern.
