5 Ideas from the Heading Home To Dinner Event to Incorporate Into Your Holiday Tablescape
Oct 24 2018 ·0Once again, the Heading Home to Dinner event at Boston Design Week was a huge success. In just the 2nd year, we raised $111,000! These funds will pay a year’s rent for four families ~ yippee! This was also my 2nd year designing for the event and I cannot wait for next year. In the meantime, take a peek at some of the amazing tabletop and bar cart designs from this year’s event and a few ideas I spotted that you can easily incorporate into your own holiday tablescape…
A Few Favorites from the Heading Home To Dinner Tablescapes
Nov 15 2017 ·0It’s hard to believe it’s already been a month since the inaugural Heading Home to Dinner Event at the Boston Design Center. The fundraising goal for the first year of HH2D was $25,000. After a hugely successful three days of events, I am happy to report that $100,000 was raised for Heading Home, an organization dedicated to ending family homelessness in Greater Boston. I am so proud to have been part of this event and blown away by the generosity of the community! I can’t wait to see what year 2 will look like!
Heading Home To Dinner not only raised awareness and funds but also served to unify the Boston design community and give us a forum to meet and collaborate with other designers. What a wonderful opportunity and experience it was. All of the table designs and bar carts were incredible, representing hours of planning and set-up. While there are plenty of recaps of the entire event (my friend Linda Holt has a great one here), I wanted to highlight a few of my favorite tables from the event…

Love & Inspiration: Thanksgiving Table Settings
Nov 26 2014 ·0Around here, Thanksgiving is our favorite holiday. Both my son and my daughter love to come home and cook (how lucky am I?), stay up and visit all night, and “doll up” for guests. I adore that we love to be together without the exchange of gifts, because isn’t spending time together the best gift of all? And we are always thrilled to welcome friends who have become family and this year is no different.
The highlight of my Thanksgiving entertaining is creating the tablescape. Are you surprised? I adore selecting a new palette each year and surprising my peeps with a beautiful table. Today I wanted to share not only my Thanksgiving table for this year, but a couple of other Thanksgiving tables I’ve loved…

Nov 25 2014 ·0One of my favorite things about Thanksgiving, aside from coming together with friends and family and sharing delicious food of course, is creating a festive & unique table to gather around.

Styling Tables for a Valentine’s Day Dinner Party
Feb 11 2014 ·0I got the best phone call the other day from a my favorite client of mine, G. The task? Styling two tables for a Valentine Dinner party ~ YES! Have I mentioned that Valentine’s Day is my favorite holiday of the year??…
My next step was to gather information about the fete: number of guests (18!), serving style (buffet) and location of the dining tables (dining room & kitchen). I was already very familiar with the house because G and I have collaborated on several projects so I knew the color palette and her style.
