Holiday House NYC 2012 :: My Faves

In it’s fifth year, Holiday House  is a holiday-themed designer showhouse benefiting The Breast Cancer Research Foundation. Twenty-seven top-tier interior designers were asked to decorate a room around any holiday theme (many non-traditional such as “everyday’s a holiday”). Over the course of several months, the designers transformed the masionary-like mansion at Two East 63rd Street on the Upper East Side of  New York City. From modern to traditional, each room has a look and feel of it’s own, yet all are so chic. I’ve pulled a few of my favorite images:

Helping Fund a Cure :: The Pink Jalk Project

Although it’s November 1st and marks the end of Breast Cancer Awareness month, however the fight for thousands of woman with breast cancer goes on. In addition just over 18,000 women and men in the United States will be diagnosed with breast cancer this month.  Doctors and researchers are getting closer to finding a cure and making strides on providing more individualized treatment plans to patients which help save lives.

(Elissa Hudson’s Etsy Shop)

In the wake of Hurricane Sandy and all it’s sorrow, it’s hard to post about a fundraiser for breast cancer, but as a young breast cancer survivor (4+ years!), it’s a cause near and dear to my heart.

For the first time, The Pink Project spotlights a chair designed by a woman – the GJ Chair designed by Grete Jalk. Twenty leading interior designers, architects and design icons have been asked to customize the iconic GJ Chair in personal homage to benefit The Breast Cancer Research Foundation and their worldwide initiatives. There is only one more day to bid on these fabulous chairs… so don’t delay! Here are my faves…

Designer Spotlight: Massucco Warner Miller

For the past several years, I’ve enjoyed following the work of  interior design firm, Massucco Warner Miller.  Founding designers, Julie Kleiner (Massucco) and Melissa Warner each previously worked at design firms in San Francisco and New York, but felt that their impact would be greater as a team. Their style is fresh, approachable and classic with a modern twist.  Their portfolio showcases projects layered in beautiful patterns and textures and each feels as if it evolved over time (which I personally love!).  The design duo brilliantly blends a relaxed California vibe with a little New York glam.  A recent residential project in Napa Valley exemplifies what this creative team can do…
