DESIGN ON A DIME

This weekend Housing Works Thrift Shop/NYC had their seventh annual Design on a Dime fundraising event. On Friday I went there to support it and of course, enjoy it. Perhaps… shop! I really like this event because it mixes creative and renamed talents of the design world; with charity and good intentions… It’s rewarding to know that designers can create beautiful spaces, and at the same time “Get a Room” for homeless and low-income New Yorkers living with and affected by HIV/AIDS.
Being part of this event is one of my plans… I believe that we can produce luxurious rooms and help the less privileged people in different ways… Being part of this event is one of the ways…

I took pictures of all the rooms that were there, but here I am going to post just some of the rooms because there are a lot pictures. If you want to see all of the rooms you are invited to look at them in RG Art & Design's Facebook page _ Design on a Dime Event 2011.

However, I have one criticism about the event... I wish they didn't let people take their purchased pieces until the end of the show!

I call this one: "The Bad Guy Room"

This one I call: "Asia-Deco Elegance"

This one... I call: "Bold Lines & Shapes of Expressions"

Hum... for this one... "Lemon Splash"

This one I call... "The Angel's Fall"

The center table is my inspiration for the name of this room! The base is made of a pile of newspaper, so... I call this one: "Sunday Morning"

"Should I marry, should I buy a bicycle?! Should I get a bike, should I marry?!" For this one: "Free Spirit Girl"

This one... I am not so sure what name to give it... but I might call it: "The Outdoors Inside In"

What name would you give to this one?

How about this one?

I like to call this one: "The Beach Cottage of the South"

Maybe... "The Wild Side of Me"

How about for this one... "The Eclectic Fusion"?

This one? "Life is... The Sounds of Music"

..."Rustic City Paradise"

I really love the elements of this room... But I don't have a name for this room?! :-(

Do you have any suggestion?

HAPPY MOTHERS DAY TO ALL OF YOU, BEAUTIFUL!!!

LISA KERESZI PHOTOGRAPHY

LOVE IT!

This past week was the last week of the show! I knew I couldn’t miss it! So I went there on the last day! Overall, it wasn’t anything out of the ordinary, but that is the kind of show that we designers and decorators should not fail to notice, in my opinion… The great designers of the area are going to be exhibiting their styles live, and that’s why I think we should go and check them out with our own eyes! It was my first experience going to a show house in New York City! I know that the high-end decoration approach of New Yorkers is generally formal, elegant, and traditional, including a bit of contemporary tendencies.

Here I grabbed photos from Internet sources because, unfortunatley, I wasn't allowed to take my own photos. I would like to invite you {if you did not have a chance to visit it this year} to tour the house; and please leave your comments!
