Design On A Dime 2015
on April 23rd at the
Metropolitan Pavilion in New York City
with Elle Decor magazine
as the media sponsor.
Our Designer's Atelier Space at
Design On A Dime 2015
was a great success,
but it certainly took a Village!
We decorated a room at the Metropolitan Pavilion, alongside 60+ other designer rooms. On April 23rd the doors opened, our rooms were on display then all went on sale since everything was donated, benefiting Housingwork's charity's Hull House. What an evening, and it certainly is NYC's most fun, philanthropic design event. With a star-studded turn out, the fun was flying as the crowd meandered from room-to-room viewing these spectacularly creative vignettes. Today, we stopped by to see what was left, and well, everything sold, everything!
The makings of our designs took
the efforts of many of our friends, family and the design community...
We used the space to show a design duo working and creating beautiful wares. Since Susan Young and I just launched our new home collections together called Root Cellar Designs which will include tablecloths, tea towels, napkins, pillows and more, we showcased our very first collection inspired by 18th Century fashion illustrations called Fashion Forward in our designer's studio.
We are very grateful for all these folks...
