Charlotte Homestagers Give back to Cabarrus County Habitat For Humanity

Charlotte Homestagers Give back to Cabarrus County Habitat for Humanity. As part of StagedHomes.com initiative to give back to the communities our home stagers work in, The Charlotte Chapter of International Accredited Home Staging Professionals (IAHSP)took on the corporate office of Cabarrus County Habitat for Humanity this year as their pet project during Worldwide Staging Service Week.

Every year the chapter participates in the annual Worldwide Staging Service Week (WWSSW) which allows the Charlotte IAHSP® chapter to give back to worthy charities, groups, or individuals through the IAHSP® Foundation. The IAHSP® Foundation schedules this annual event to give back joy, time, dollars and resources to help others in need. It is an honor to serve others through WWSSW® service week and the IAHSP® Foundation throughout the year as well.

It was a rainy Wednesday, but the members of Charlotte IAHSP showed up and took over the Habitat office with the goal of making the space more inviting while showcasing what Habitat is all about. The only rule we had to follow was to use items out of the local Habitat ReStore for our staging project. It was a collective effort from over 20 members in our chapter and we were definitely up to the challenge. After several hours of "shopping" at the ReStore, the members assembled at the Habitat Office and allowed our inner design divas come out.

Since this was a design project we were able to personalize the space and showcase some of the many projects Habitat has been involved in over the years. This goal was to make the office space warm, inviting and show the potential opportunities available to clients that come to Habitat for their services.

The experience was phenomenal and the folks at Habitat were in shock with the results that we were able to produce from their very own Restore. Below are some before and after photos of the Cabarrus County Habitat for Humanity Office along with a heartfelt thank you!

The conference area was a challenge but we were able to fit a table.

This is the entry area by the front door. There was nothing there prior to the project, it turned out to be the perfect spot for this Vignette.
