Housing Works Design on a Dime 2010

Housing Works is very popular among the design crowd in New York and it seemed like every designer in New York came out to support this wonderful charity at their annual Design on a Dime event last night! The place was packed with people ready to shop for a good cause and I even saw two people fighting over a chair so you know the items up for sale were top notch! I honestly think it was better than last year! I want to give a big shout out and thank you to everyone who participated, volunteered, donated or shopped! I know it took a lot of work to put this event together and the amount of creativity that went into each room was amazing! I especially loved Charlotte Moss’s room above! I hope you enjoy the photos and will stop by on Friday and Saturday so you too can shop till you drop! I want to point out that some of the pieces shown in these photos were probably sold last night but they will be replenishing all the rooms over the next two days with more items. Happy Shopping!

it was great seeing you last night… What a great event – Housing Works really outdid themselves…
My two favorite rooms were James Huniford and Steven Gambrel… might go back this weekend to buy some stuff!!
Great coverage! I love the Miles Redd room as well. All of his lampshades are fabulous. I love the greek key lamp with red trimmed shade!
Heather;Thanks so much for sharing that with us. I so appreciate the visual tour! Like being there, only better.
Alas, I spent the evening on the ball field with sand, grit & dirt in the eyes!
One of these times I want to take advantage of the invite and go to this event. It looks like a wonderful evening and a wonderful cause!
Until then; I love to shop online and scoop up bargains …… or not.
Great things from Housing Works!
Thank you so much for sharing with us!

You must have had a blast! Great pics, so much to look at. And wouldn’t that sofa of yours look great with bun feet? xx’s
Great eye candy, thank you so much for the pics.
So much creativity and effort went into this event. Love seeing the designers’ work in a toned-down setting.
Thanks–the sofa was a great buy. Mary

I love the calypso room, the cushions look beautiful. The blue wall is stunning!
beautiful. some designers really brought it. the wall treatments really help.
i’m shocked i didn’t hate the ty pennington vignette.
SUCH a great recap – I loved seeing Asler’s room, I used to work with him, such a sweetie pie!
Great post, Heather.
Heather, your coverage of this event is amazing!!! I was so disappointed that I could not make it in to the city for this event, but after this post, I almost feel like I was there! So much to absorb and be inspired by…thanks!!!
I went the next day, and the whole place looked so picked over… My photos were not even worth putting up.
Obviously I missed out on the good stuff the night before!
Such fabulous coverage of this event!! Thank you for each detail and picture. Can’t wait to design my own space.
Housing works did it again! BRAVO
