Hi Fabulistas, With May only days away it’s time to put away umbrellas from April’s showers and welcome the warmer seasons with all the fabulousness that May has to offer. From New York, to Los Angeles, and everything in between (the South is inviting you to some great events this year!) it’s time to start RSVP’ing and getting all those outfits ready to these gatherings. See you there! Southeastern Designer Showhouse 4/23 – 5/15 THE ULTIMATE INTERPRETATION of gracious living and quintessential Southern style, the first annual Southeastern Designer Showhouse & Gardens—designed by architect Dietrich T. Logan of Logan Design Group International and built by Bill Preston, president of Atlanta-based Paradise Builders Inc.—will debut in Buckhead's Tuxedo Park neighborhood in Spring 2016. The exquisite 20,000-square-foot English manor-style house is situated on a 3.5-acre lot that also includes a 2,500-square-foot pool house, infinity edge pool and tennis court. In addition to the array of top designers that will participate in the showhouse, renowned Atlanta-based interior designer Suzanne Kasler will serve as Honorary Chair. A portion of the proceeds from the Southeastern Designer Showhouse & Gardens ticket sales will benefit Safe Kids Georgia, the safety initiative of Children's Healthcare of Atlanta (CHOA). San Francisco Decorator Showhouse 4/30 – 5/30 The San Francisco Decorator Showcase is widely considered to be the West Coast’s premier design showhouse event, renowned for featuring the work of the region’s top interior and landscape designers. All the funds raised through the Decorator Showcase go directly to support the San Francisco University High School (UHS) Financial Aid Program. The success of this important fundraiser depends upon the generous support of our sponsors, the school’s trustees, parents, faculty, alumni, students, friends, the participation of hundreds of accomplished designers, and the patronage of thousands of Showcase visitors each year.
