11/2009: ASID Connecticut Chapter, out in full
force!
|
 Designers
roll up their sleeves as the ASID Connecticut Chapter donates time and talents
to the long standing charitable efforts of the Fairfield Christmas Tree
Festival. Four designers from ASID CT are volunteering to
design rooms in The Burr Homestead for the Festival. The designers are
particularly proud to be working on the event this year as Operation Hope, a
Fairfield based shelter and food pantry, is the recipient of the Festival’s
proceeds. (while it sponsors Operation Hope this year). (The ASID
Connecticut Chapter is pleased to decorate several rooms in the Burr Homestead.)
Our Director at Large, Amy Eisenberg creates a scheme of pewter and bronze with
accents of teal in the Little Room upstairs on the second floor. Silk
upholstered French country furnishings and a period Victorian settee speak to a
sitting room layout for a cozy afternoon tea or an evening glass of wine.
Industry Partner Kaoud of Wilton generously provides the area rug with
undertones complimenting the scheme while The Curtain Exchange provides
beautiful sheer appliquéd window treatments in teal.
Sara Hopkins, Director of Finance, and Hollie Sutherland, past
Director-at-Large, pair up to create a luxurious front foyer and center hallway. Hope is the theme of the event this year and these ASID
interior designers translate that into a unique interpretation of traditional
Christmas colors. Red ornaments, a hint of metallic gold ivy accented with
bright green berries are colors that fit in any room décor. Moss, pinecones and
red cardinals bring a bit of the outdoors to the greenery and complement the bit
of metallic glitz. Each wreath, garland and tree is hand made and one of a kind.
Donna Straat, ASID CT President, and Fenella Pearson, Director of
Communications, transform the blue bedroom into a sophisticated dining area
using white and burlap covered furnishings to create an edgy contrast between
the simple and the refined. A dramatic silver and lime green palette, punctuated
with vibrant persimmon and bittersweet accents, creates excitement by giving the
traditional Christmas colors an unexpected twist.
The show promises beautiful garlands, wreaths, and trees for all to take home.
Designs are sure to enhance this holiday season while many choose to warm their
surroundings and appreciate the good works of the Fairfield Christmas Tree
Festival.
