Design Soiree

Last week I had the pleasure of attending a special event at The Design Center of America (DCOTA) in Dania Beach, Florida. It was a magical evening sponsored by furniture designer Janus et Cie to celebrate Clinton Smith, the Editor and Chief of Veranda magazine.

 

I attended the dinner with my Business Manager, Timm Dolley.    The evening was a gathering of movers and shakers from the south Florida design world, and we were honored to be included.  We even had premium seating right next to Clinton Smith!   The divine menu was prepared by the award-winning celebrity chef Michelle Bernstein.

Smith recently launched his book “Veranda: The Romance of Flowers”, which is currently #3 on Amazon’s bestseller list for Home & Design publications. The book illustrates how flowers have played a central role in the magazine’s history. It is a sophisticated collection of stunning photographs of interiors and flowers.

 

Special thanks to Janus et Cie for the invitation to our event. Below is a Janus et Cie patio I designed for Equestrian Club in Wellington, Florida.
