Hello Fabulistas! The hard work continues on pulling together a stunning and interesting room vignette for Housing Works’ special event, Design on a Dime 2014 . I already have incredible furnishings from my generous donors that will be available to purchase at this great event for an important cause. As you know, I’ve been telling you about my favorite vendors who have donated to my booth throughout the month, and will continue this until the event launch on April 24. Here’s why I love today’s featured design sources. Robert Allen | Beacon Hill Robert Allen and Beacon Hill, both part of the Robert Allen Group, have a wide range of products from elegant fabrics and trims to an array of furniture selections, both ranging from modern to traditional, ethnic to country. They are both great sources. The shared showroom serves as a great one-stop shop for any busy designer.
