2011 DreamHome opens March 18 @ The Washington Design Center

When you tour the DreamHome, be sure to take a look at Andy Staszak's Family Room inspired by Adeler Jeweler's 1st-century B.C. Roman silver coin earrings. Andy's room also features my work "Swirl," courtesy the artist and the Art Registry.

The Washington Design Center announces the 2011 DreamHome, which will incorporate the jewelry of eight local jewelers and designers. Eight Interior designers have chosen pieces from each jeweler that will inspire their room design. The 2011 DreamHome will be unveiled at a preview party on March 17th and will remain open through December 9th. The 2011 DreamHome, residing within The Washington Design Center, will offer “bejeweled” decorating inspiration through furnishings, fabric, rugs, and wall coverings available throughout the design center’s showrooms.
