In September of 2009 Los Angeles home staging and interior design company, Shaping Spaces Group teamed up with Habitat for Humanity and two other designers from Southern California to design and furnish a home in San Juan Capistrano.
We had the pleasure of working with Furnishing Hope from Orange County to help supply the furniture for the Mendez family, as well as other great volunteers to make it happen for this single mother with three beautiful daughters. Speaking with Ms. Mendez she said the process and qualifying took four years and she was so excited and grateful.
It was such an emotional and gratifying experience to be a part of the process from beginning to end. Seeing the home constructed from the ground up, selecting the paint, flooring, lighting, furniture and accessories. The project took about 4 months to complete before finally meeting our family and presenting them their new home. We all had tears of joy as we showed Ms. Mendez and her children around the home. Each of the girls room where designed especially for them with their request of color and interest.
It was a wonderful experience that we would do again in a heart beat and we just might, there are 18 more homes scheduled in that community.
