Design on a Dime: our picks

Posted by Bao - Tuesday, May 15th, 2012 - Design and decor, Out and about

I love the annual Design on a Dime benefit. You’ll always find fun decorating ideas from top designers. Even more you can buy items at a steep discount, and it goes to charity! I invited two friends to walk the show with me. Our individual tastes vary a bit, but we did find a couple things that wowed all three of us.

I’m eclectic and love quirky striking designer pieces, but I have a soft spot for upcycled and old things. Patricia’s in the middle of giving her home an airy beachside makeover. Jasmin is gearing up to launch “Sparkle Affair”, a Swarovski crystal bedazzling company for brides to be! She’s totally engrossed in gloss, glam, bling and sparkle. We had a lot of fun visiting each designer’s vignette and picking our favorite pieces. Have a look through our collections. Which pieces would you pick?

  I thought it was funny how you guys just started chatting on the rocking chairs like you were all relaxing on the front porch.

Where can I find either directions for the white coffee table or where to purchase it?

  Hi Peg. I zoomed in on the tag, and it only said “ivory coffee table”. I’ll keep searching to see if I can track it down. If I can’t find it, I’ll put up a list of similar looking tables for you.
