Housing Work's Design on a Dime!

Design on a Dime and its sponsors

Last Thursday we went and checked out Housing Works' Annual "Design On A Dime" Event, held at the Metropolitan Pavilion in Chelsea. The event features over 50 of the world's top interior designers, who create gorgeous vignettes with new donated merchandize, which is then sold at discount! We donated our cabana canopy bed to the lovely ladies of Tilton Fenwick for their booth, while our adult line The New Traditionalists donated their Cabinet no. Two Seventy to Foley & Cox, and Side Table no. Thirty One to Aurelien Gallet.

Anne Maxwell Foster and Suysel dePedro Cunningham of Tilton Fenwick created an unforgettably adorable vignette. Our canopy bed was well-dressed for the jungle in a Clarence House print and sat atop an amazing Merida rug. The walls were hand painted in an incredible green graphic pattern by Michael Louglin of Talking Walls, and the booth featured a custom painted chest by Hickory Chair and super cool giraffe and elephant chairs by Paloma's Nest.

The entire space was absolutely fantastic, however the miniature arm chair in a Clarence House jungle themed print stole the show! We also loved the creative touch of Suysel and Anne in putting that awesome Abbey Road print under canopy. So unexpected yet so chic!

Co-Chair of the 8th Annual DOAD and Co-Anchor of Good Morning America, Lara Spencer stopped by the booth and answered questions from Marisa Marcantonio of Stylebeat on our bed!

It was an all around great event for an even better cause and we were glad to donate to it! Big thanks to everyone who participated in it and helped make it such a great success!
