Hello Fabulistas! I find that so many interior designers do great work giving back to the community. On Wednesday night I attended the kickoff party for the Housing Works Design on a Dime 2014 ! I am participating again this year and can’t wait to show you what I have planned. photo 1

The launch was a great chance to catch up with other people in the industry, including Michael Boodro of ELLE DECOR, and Lea Olson and Emily Britton of Henredon. It’s so easy to get caught up in your own hectic work schedule. It’s wonderful to celebrate giving with others that have the same passions!

Design on a Dime is New York’s most popular interior design event. Designers create room vignettes with new merchandise that’s donated and then sold at a discount with proceeds going to Housing Works.

See what I did at my Design on a Dime booth last year for a hint of what’s to come for this year! Stay tuned for lots of updates and sneak peeks at my vignette for this year. The VIP Opening Night Reception is April 24 and the public sale is April 25-26. Get more info here .
