Sneak Peek Holiday House NYC: Claudia Giselle's Girl's Night Out

I just returned from the press preview for 
Holiday House in NYC
and there is much to be excited about. 
The designs this year are colorful, innovative and very dramatic. 
A wonderful dose of inspiration as we head into the busiest holiday season of the year. 
 I love the fun theme of holiday inspired rooms,
and this year many of the designers took creative license
 with the subject creating rooms with themes
from
"girl's night out" to
"everyday is a holiday"  
Girl's Night Out 
First, let's take a look at my good friend Claudia Giselle's space. 
She is a young, rising designer who happens to also be
 the President of IFDA NY Chapter. 
I am a committee member of IFDA and in case you are not familiar,
the organization brings those in the industry together, 
hosting many industry events throughout the city.

Claudia created a fantasy vanity room, 
a small oasis packed with a lot of style.
Can't you just picture sipping bubbly with your
girlfriends while getting ready for a night out on the town?
It's glamorous and I love it!
