impact today
Support our mission by contributing a donation.
At Step Above Staging, co-owners Nichelle “Nikki” Turner and Sharlene Lewter Flood believe that design has the power to transform not only spaces, but lives. What began as a shared passion for home staging and purposeful design has evolved into a mission that reaches beyond beautiful interiors.
Through the launch of our philanthropic extension, Marie’s House, we’re turning that passion into impact. Marie’s House is a nonprofit thrift store that provides single parents with affordable furnishings, décor, and financial literacy education—helping families create comfortable, functional homes and build lasting stability.
By donating gently used furniture and décor from our staging projects, Step Above Staging helps stock Marie’s House with quality items that bring comfort and dignity to families in need. Together, we’re bridging design and compassion—creating homes that uplift, inspire, and empower.
