Designer Information

Looking for a fun new design project? Collaborate with a local chef to design a tablescape based on the culinary theme for a table of 8 guests!

Each design team will decorate a table on Thursday, October 21st, based on a theme chosen by the designer and chef coordinating with the food provided for the table.

Designers are welcome to create a lively centerpiece, adorn the table with artwork, and more…

Get creative and showcase your talent to sponsors and guests while supporting Focus on Home’s mission to furnish homes for families transitioning out of homelessness!

The following will be provided for each designer:

  • A table of choice (round, rectangle, or serpentine) for 8 guests
    • Designers/teams are also welcome to bring their own!
