AN EVENING OF DESIGN, FURNISHINGS, AND FRIENDS...

On Monday evening I had the pleasure of attending an event to celebrate the winning design project by two Savannah College of Art and Design students, sponsored by SCAD, Atlanta Homes and Lifestyles Magazine, and Mitchell Gold + Bob Williams.

The design project vignette featured two of the Chester collection sofa's back to back on a raised platform.  The design concept was based on the car in the movie Driving Miss Daisy.  The raised sofa's were inspired by how cars were showcased during that time at car shows.  On the wall was a presentation that highlighted scenes in the car that focused primarily on certain elements, such as the steering wheel, dashboard, and seats.

I had such a great time catching up with old pals Tavia, Jonathan, and Tammi.  We all once worked together at Pottery Barn at Lenox Square, at the time, the largest store in the country.  We all credit working at Pottery Barn with helping us to realize our "true" calling!  We are definitely "cheerleaders" for one another and are there to support each other in any way that we can!  I love this bunch!  It was a successful night Jonathan, CONGRATULATIONS!!!

Love the color and pattern!  Faye armless chairs in an oversized chevron pattern; Dexter sofa in warm brown leather; Cedric cocktail and side tables; Potter table lamp.

One of my favorite MG+BW lamps, the Donut table lamp, sits atop the Manning three-drawer side table.  An amazing piece by itself with smooth ash veneers, polished stainless steel, and white glass!
