The annual Lenox Hill Spring Gala is a fundraiser for the Lenox Hill Neighborhood House and takes place at Cipriani on 42nd Street (a former historic bank from the turn of the century) in a grand ballroom with soaring ceilings, Greek and Roman columns and gorgeous architecture (there's even an ornate fireplace in the men's bathroom). Designers hail from around the country to don a table for the black-tie dinner and dancing fundraiser.

While my first post was dedicated to showcasing our own table, today we celebrate the other beautiful tables we captured at this year's gala. There were so many detailed and rich table designs this year, maybe the best ever! The Flights of Fancy theme gave designers lots of fodder and many utilizied butterflies, birds and whimsical designs. These tables are grand and worthy of finding out just a little bit more about the designer's inspiration to create them. Check out six mini interviews we conducted at the event, plus some of our favorite tables this year.

Happy Nesting

"Lenox Hill Neighborhood House was originally founded in 1894 as a free kindergarten for immigrants and is among the oldest settlement houses in the nation. At its core, the work has not changed since our founding—we still educate children, feed hungry neighbors, care for the elderly, advocate for vulnerable individuals and provide critical, comprehensive services to immigrants and low-income New Yorkers, helping them to gain the skills they need to strengthen themselves today and build a better community for tomorrow". -The Lenox Hill Neighborhood House
