ReDesign on a Dime

On Saturday, March 13th , the Habitat for Humanity ReStore will showcase the skills and decorating prowess of nine local interior designers, decorators and home-staging experts who will have transformed nine areas into fully decorated "rooms" using materials that are available at the ReStore. The decorators will start their process on March 8th when they will begin selecting items from the store and creating rooms utilizing their respective expertise. Each room will be randomly assigned to one of the volunteer designers They will have one week to transform the room into the vision they have. During this week, they will be given a random item from the ReStore that they will have to incorporate into their respective room.

The purpose of this Showcase is to help customers gain a better understanding of how to pull items together from the ReStore to totally recreate and transform a room in your home for less than $700. The results of the efforts of the designers will be unveiled at noon on March 12th. Awards will be given to designers who have shown the most creativity (either with one particular item or with a room), most practical use (of an item or room), best overall design, and the coveted "Most for the Least" award. This award will be given to the decorator that creates a room that is not only beautiful and practical, but was also created using the least amount of money.

The rooms will be covered up or blocked off starting March 8th and will be "revealed " on Saturday, March 13th at 12 o'clock, noon. At that time, the rooms will be showcased and customer voting will begin. At 2 o'clock, ReStore customers will be allowed to buy any of the items from the ReStore in the rooms. Designers will be allowed to bring in no more than 5 accessories to help finish-off their rooms. These items may or may not be for sale.
