Tonight is the opening gala of the Designer Showcase in the Columbus Museum of Art. It’ll be lots of fun. It will be open to the public tomorrow.

It’s full with all the things I love and have forever talked about in this blog- ikat, convex plaster mirrors, prints, canopy, etc. I’ll do a full reveal another day when I have better photos.
