Celebration Preparation

Filed under Accessorizing, Current Projects, Design Principles

I felt like I was participating in an episode of America’s Top Decorator  Design Idol  Top DesignI confess I’m not a big reality show watcher.  But to the point, I spent my weekend on a tight schedule helping my friends prepare for the huge gathering they were having in their home to celebrate their registering a civil union.

The painters were leaving as I arrived on Friday.  The Living Room walls were now clean and glowing in the palest pink (Benjamin Moore Wild Aster 1240).  The first and immediate task was positioning the furniture to accommodate guests and heaping trays of food.

You may recall my series on this gorgeous home.  The owners have upset the cosmic balance of talent by remaining together for 18 years; Kirk is an artist and Arijit is an architect.  They have piles of art.  Literally.  Piles in baskets and stacked on the floor.  It was my job to display it.

Here are some photos.

The green rectangular vases are vintage.  I tried to put them in my suitcase but I got caught.

Fire Supplies tucked away in vessels.

Kirk's art on the right, folk art on the left.

Arijit created a customary welcome with flour paste.

The necessities for partying.

More importantly, booze.  More art hung in the distance.

When you enter.  We added huge bunches of yellow roses and purple tulips just before the guests arrived.

Ready for food.  The paintings in the distance are Kirk's own work.

    I love this room with the window bench set, table with two chairs and gorgeous wood floors. It’s so cozy!
