What a fantastic week! Wednesday I was able to attend the Holiday House event, supporting the Breast Cancer Awareness Foundation. The event was done wonderfully, with beautifully designed rooms and delicious passed hors d’oeuvres (including cake pops!). The showhouse is huge! It was four floors high, almost a city block deep with several rooms. I’ll get into more detail about the breathtaking rooms on Monday, but I wanted to give you a sneak peak. If you follow me on instagram (@lifeinsketch), you’ve seen a few pictures, but these will be new to you.
The designers, from top left to bottom right: A glimpse into Tobi Fairley’s room, a room that was more of an experience by Geoffrey Bradfield, a shotgun over a fireplace by Ally Coulter, and a vignette in Janet Rice’s 2nd floor area.
