Event Recap: Outdoor Chic's Savvy Suggestions (Part 2)


You may recall our recap earlier this week about Outdoor Chic: From the Terrace to the Great Outdoors at DCOTA which highlighted the panel discussion and environment created by Joe Fava in Atrium B at DCOTA.




"I'm a hugely avid gardener and I certainly didn't think I'd be learning anything in the gardening enhancement part of the discussion," said an audience member. "Sure enough, Joe and Ashley Longshore really identified some beautiful ways to enhance my gardening space by rearranging certain plants and really understanding the sunlight that my yard gets. I hope there isn't another fabulous event here soon because I'll be in my garden!"




In addition to a mock swimming pool, Joe’s outdoor escape also featured Batonia hammocks, made in Belgium by Inside Out, an open seating area from the Meridian cubic collection by Brown Jordan, and outdoor artwork by artist Ashley Longshore. Lara Shelton from La Plates presented a personalized, cheerful atmosphere to this backyard with colorful custom plates. IStyle owner Jenny Wilensky Zalkin partnered up with Betty from Betty’s Models to show the latest fashion trend from Saks Fifth Avenue to complete this summer pool party.

Event Recap: Tabletop Runway Steals the Show

The second week of International Design@DCOTA’s Design Series Tabletop Runway touched on the ultimate fashions for entertaining in style, bringing together designers Tony Ferchak and Lorenzo Mallicone from William Bernard Design Group. Tabletop accessories from Mary Mahoney of Palm Beach and flowers from Pistil & Petals in Miami were included in the J. Batchelor showroom.




The lecture gave tips on how to think outside the box and accessorize your dining room space such as making your own tablecloths out of foliage and mixing and matching your china to express your personality.
