If there's a bit of a designer of you, or if you just love looking at beautifully decorated rooms, you're in for a real treat this holiday season. From October 30th to December 12th, Orchard Hill, the former residence of Peggy Phipps Boegner will be open to the public from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. for a Designer Showcase with a Home For The Holidays theme. Only the second time in its history, this 1856 farmhouse on Long Island's Gold Coast, will open its doors to showcase some of the most artistic designers in the New York area.
Long before I started staging and decorating homes myself I was drawn to the designer showcases like a moth to a flame. Not only to you get to experience first hand the creativity of each designer as they take a raw space and infuse it with their enormous talent and personal style, but you also get to absorb a little bit of history of the region in the process.
If you're in the area and have the time, this would be high on my list of recommended events, one worthy of your attendance. I'm going to do everything in my power to be there as well.
For those not familiar with the area, you'll find some interesting information about the mansions of the Gold Coast and the history of the area. I'll be following up with posts about some of the fascinating stories behind the architecture.
