Our root cellar designs' Neptune Table at the Lenox Hill Spring Gala 2026

“Once Upon a Dream”
Spring Gala Celebration to Benefit
Lenox Hill Neighborhood House

 Our Neptune Dream Table for root cellar designs
at
the Annual Lenox Hill Spring Gala 
in New York City 
 
Neptune's Dream 
was a sea fever dream, 
a table set with a cornucopia of hand made seashell-inspired designs.  
It's as if the Roman God of the sea himself dined 
at this table surrounded by all he loves.  
The design paid homage 
to the pull the ocean has.  
A table realized in a blue and white palette 
with created shell sculptures, 
decoupage plates,
 textiles from root cellar designs 
and inspired by my new blue and white 
terra cotta tile collection with Country Floors, 
special thank you to
Gabriella Stephenson-Fraser, Design Assistant For the Day
Miles Stephenson & Caroline San Pietro, photography and videograpy
Randal Stephenson and Christopher Fraser, heavy lifting
