ROOMS WITH A VIEW: CATCH DESIGNER VIGNETTES IN CT THIS FALL

There were so many design events cancelled last year, charity’s that benefitted from their support need us now more than ever. One such event, Rooms With A View, was founded by the late Albert Hadley in a town he held dear, Southport, Connecticut. It’s a place I am now lucky to call home. Celebrating its 27th year, this wonderful 3 day design event showcases 12 interior designers talents (shared below) tasked with transforming a tiny space. Tapped by the design advisory board, they create six-foot-by-eight-foot vignettes that are diminutive in size but big on style. These small but mighty rooms showcase a range of styles and are truly awe inspiring.

Since it began in 1995, the event has donated $1.7 million to local charities. Held at The Southport Congregational Church, the opening party (buy tickets here) is November 4th. A design industry event is the evening of the 5th (buy tickers here), and Collector’s Night (buy tickets here) is being hosted by Adrienne Conzelman of ARC Fine Art, where she will chat with the wildly knowledgeable (and keen observer) interior designer and writer David Netto. A group book signing November 6th will round out the festivities. The vignettes are on view until November 7th, from 12pm-5pm. and you won’t want to miss the creative moments this year’s designers bring. Eleish Van Breems Home, Stark and Waterworks are this year’s presenting sponsors.
