Good morning, I have so missed being on my blog, definitely my happy place. We are still as a family in mourning over the tragedy of one of my closest friends son’s death which I spoke of here<\/a>. It is still quite surreal and having to attend the private wake and burial yesterday was heart wrenching and the saddest funeral I have ever had to attend.<\/p>\n

I needed to take off a few days to pay respect to the family and take time to process this tragedy. Thank you so much for your kind words and condolences and many private emails.? When my friend is up to it I am going to share that post with her, I know it will warm her heart to see the outpouring of love. So please visit by clicking here<\/a> if you want to add a message.<\/p>\n

The Ronald McDonald showhouse was a wonderful success and I am so honored to have been a part of it. It sure humbles you to hear the stories that make the Ronald McDonald house thrive and go on. I cannot imagine working for a greater or more noble cause. I couldn’t have been happier with my space. Remember the rendering of my vision done by Patricia of PVE? She did a brilliant job of bringing my idea to “life”….and it definitely validated my vision.<\/p>\n

There were so many wonderful rooms, and it was such fun getting to see all of the different interpretations of design. I must say my space came out exactly as I had hoped it would and in fact even surpassed my expectations. The reaction to it was so wonderful, flattering and validating! I am now dying to recreate that space in my own home but have run out of places:) So here is a little bit on the room in progress and then the final result.<\/p>\n

\"10136-CalligraphicDesignElementsSet1_2-1024x215-300x6311212\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Left my house with a car loaded to the gills for day one of installation-<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"unn1212sasaamed\"<\/a> \"unname7667d\"<\/a> \"unnavbbvmed\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Arriving to the enormous tent almost 200 x 100! It had 22 vignette spaces around the entire perimeter of the tent where each designer spent two days working their magic!<\/p>\n

\"unaa2named\"<\/a> \"22aaunnamed\"<\/a><\/p>\n

In progress- at first brushstroke, I was in love with the color I chose Guacamole by Benjamin Moore, now I want this exact room in my own home!<\/p>\n

\"unname766d\"<\/a><\/p>\n

And then I started to bring out all of the elements that would make my space once the room was painted and dry-<\/p>\n

\"unnbb5amed\"<\/a><\/p>\n

If you missed my tutorial on how I finished these brackets click here<\/em> <\/a><\/p>\n

\"un1qqnamed\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"unnaasdfmed\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Also had these adorable cookies made using my logo and put them out on a tray for the evening of the gala (wish I had a better pic)<\/p>\n

\"u22sannamed\"<\/a> \"unname6ygd\"<\/a><\/p>\n

First brackets getting put up<\/p>\n

\"un4efnamed\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Exactly as I had hoped they might look:)<\/p>\n

\"unnabbfmed\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The beautiful lantern getting hung<\/p>\n

\"unnarr44med\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Adding a big spray of blossoms to the blue and white vase was a beautiful finishing touch surrounded by elegant decor books<\/p>\n

\"unnamed665t\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The stunning raised velvet fabric by Tilton Fenwick made the most spectacular table cloth, I trimmed it with navy blue bullion fringe and a decorative tape…it was just fabulous!<\/p>\n

\"un2211named\"<\/a><\/p>\n

YES! Just how I had envisioned it would turn out…..<\/p>\n

\"un34333named\"<\/a><\/p>\n

O \"unnam3443ed\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Then we added the beautiful paintings donated by Frances of NYC Painter to the left wall- (click here to contact and see her beautiful work<\/em><\/a>)<\/p>\n

\"unnamed4343\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Then I realized I needed a balance on the right wall so added these two beautiful blue linen benches found the night before!<\/p>\n

\"unnavccvmed\"<\/a><\/p>\n

And as the last finishing touches were put on,? I got my heart set on adding another pair of brackets with blue vases and literally the morning, waited outside a friends antique shop until she opened and as the stars were aligned she had a perfect pair and gave them to me at a price that could not be beat, and we all know I had the blue and white vases ready, willing and able! This was the final and perfect touch…..<\/p>\n

\"ucxxcnnamed\"<\/a> \"unnqwqqqamed\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

These pictures below? were taken with my Nikon camera so are slightly clearer and larger however did not have it for the final room shot (with added brackets and jars) however a professional photographer was on hand to shoot the space so I will share them with you when I have them-<\/p>\n

The blossoms and vase from my shop were the perfect centerpiece for the 36″ round center table<\/p>\n

\"DSC_0114\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Used my foo dogs and small planter with orchid for one of the small consoles<\/p>\n

\"DSC_0112\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The beautiful paintings on the left wall are from Frances of NYC Painter….exquisite original oils added so much to the space!<\/p>\n

\"unnam354235ed\"<\/a> \"uadsfannamed\"<\/a> \"unnam56456ed\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"DSC_0110\"<\/a><\/p>\n

And that,? my friends is a recap of my show house space soup to nuts. I so loved my space and was really proud of it, would LOVE to have that exact room in my own home, now I need to brainstorm:) Loads of fun,? and anytime I can combine “giving back” to a phenomenal cause like The Ronald McDonald House and my passion for design…..I am fully on board!<\/p>\n

I was so honored to have been asked to do this and by all accounts the evening and fundraiser were an immense success. For more info on how you too can support The Ronald McDonald House click here.<\/em><\/a>….thank you as always for stopping by and wishing everyone a wonderful evening.<\/p>\n
