Design Challenge

A warm, inviting and comfortable space. It’s not only where our wounded heroes deserve to come home, it’s where they need to come home to begin the process of healing.

Furnishing Hope is a privately funded 501 C (3) that has teamed up with Living Spaces, as well as other sponsors and donors, to fill the homes of veterans with furniture, accessories and supplies; everything they need to live comfortably. To date over 300 homes have been furnished for wounded military heroes!

Through the month of October, Furnishing Hope is inviting designers to furnish and stage a wounded hero’s home. We need you to help make these homes personal and special. We are looking for interior designers interested shopping, coordinating, packing and installing a home. The challenge is… all this has to be done in one week!

You’ll need to:

• Review your hero’s application and needs
• Shop at Living Spaces
• Select linens, towels and bedding
• Pick out accessories, art and lamps from our warehouse and at the FH HOME Store
• Prepare kitchen set-ups
• Pack items for transport to hero’s home
• Drive to San Diego, Riverside or LA for your installation
• Direct a volunteer team on installation day
• Welcome a wounded hero into their furnished home

Requirements:

• Must be a professional interior designer or home stager.
• Installations will take place on Tuesdays, Wednesdays or Thursdays, between the hours of 8am and 6pm during the month of October. Designers must be available on installation day and have time during the week prior to spend at least 5 hours prepping for the project.
• There is no financial commitment to furnish a home for a wounded hero but we do require our designers to put their heart into the project, making the home as special as possible for each recipient.
