A Round of Thank You's for All

Last week was the Diffa event, Dining by Design. The event may be over but I still have more to say. This year was my first in being apart of the event and I am grateful to have participated. I have so many people to thank for their contributions, and with their help my designs came to life.

First of all, I want to thank my ladies at the studio, for their hard work and help with the busyness of coordinating everything. A big thank you goes to Kravet, their fabric provided beautiful panel fabric that people couldn’t stop touching and the upholstery on the custom booth was almost entirely Kravet fabric. I was excited to tell people where these materials were from. Also, a part of that thanks also goes to Joe Caminiti for his participation, teamwork, and of course, the chairs through C.A.I, which complimented the rest of the room beautifully. I can’t forget Osborne and Little, the pink fabric on the booth gave a unique look that also received many compliments.

An enormous thank you goes to JML Remodeling Specialists, Johansen Woodworks, Creations & Style Upholstery, for working with my designs of both the walls and the booths, which were fabricated better than I imagined. Also, Kandice and Francisco from San Juan Ventures, there were so many compliments on the tabletop, and surprise at how that big beautiful tree was a renewable resource. To Maya Romanoff, the beaded black wallpaper was the perfect backdrop for the dining room, and Vince from Designer’s Choice Painting, did a beautiful job installing it, so I want to thank both of you for that. The zebra rug, by Peerless Imported Rugs, was an excellent complement. Thank all of you for being so much apart of the Diffa event.

Last but not least, thank you to Melissa and Luke at Modern Luxury, for the sponsorship and Light Art for providing an elegant light fixture. Brimar’s grommet tape gave the booths the look of separate seats, and wholeness at the same time, Holly and Mark you both were so accommodating. Also Brimar’s finials and hardware details worked greatly with the ceiling sheers and panels, done by Edco Drapery Workroom. Barbara, of Barbara Morely Photography, the support of your photography added to the edgy, urban downtown feel of the space. Finally, Allison at Stems, Inc., did the beautiful fresh floral arrangement, which lasted for four days, and fit perfectly with the character of the vignette.

I am proud to say the three-day event turned out wonderfully and again, I cannot thank everyone who were apart of this charitable event enough. The final product was delivered flawlessly. I look forward to what may come next year, thank you.
