RONALD MCDONALD HOUSE GALA


We are so proud to participate in the amazing organization, The Ronald McDonald House on Long Island.  Last year we participated in an event where designers were chosen to created a fun vignette that was actioned off for the charity.  This year they chose another set of designers to design table scapes for the same purpose- each to be auctioned off to raise money for the terrific cause.   Above is our inspiration for our table.  We wanted it to be fresh and fun, with pretty pieces that people would want to purchase.  We love the combination of blue and green together it is classic and beautiful.  A big thank you to Cowtan & Tout for the beautiful napkins, Elite Tent & Party Rental for the lucite chairs & Scarsella Floral's for the gorgeous arrangements.

If you don't know about the Ronald McDonald House here is a little background.  The house provides  a "home away from home" for all family members of children that are sick and going through treatment.   They are able to stay at the house, free of charge, for as long as they need.  The rooms were all decorated by designers over the years to create a happy, stress free environment for these families who are going through so much.  Every year we are humbled by the people we meet at this organization who have dedicated their lives to making other peoples lives a little easier.

NURSERY INSPIRATION



Above is all of my inspiration for our nursery.  It will be a mixture of french with a hint of modern (The Rinfret Group's typical aesthetic).  I also tried to incorporate color, but in a calming, serene way for our little girl.  I can't wait to show you all what I came up with.  Only 6 weekends left until she arrives!  We are so excited to meet her.

FRIDAY FAVORITES | SUMMER PREGGERS PICKS



I love being preggers.  I adore the cute belly and the sweet little movements of my baby girl... That being said, summer is HOT to have the extra weight.  So, I've had to adjust my wardrobe to basically strictly dresses, wraps and comfortable, stylish shoes.  People have been asking me what are my favorites and above are my must haves.  My #1 has to be the Mama Mio Tummy Butter.  Everyone has suggested the Palmer's and this is a little more pricey, but it has been my savior.   It smells delicious and isn't as thick as the other body butters.  Also, my MDS stripes dress (which was a gift from my bestie) when I first got pregnant has been my most stylish way to cover the bump.   
Enjoy! Listed from top left...

GALLERY SPOTLIGHT | GREGG IRBY

We've been sourcing a lot of modern art for our younger, NYC clients as well as our more transitional clients on LI and in CT.  Although there are a slew of galleries in Manhattan, my eye keeps going back to the artists on Gregg Irby Gallery in Atlanta.  He features favorites like Michelle Aramas, but always keeps it new and fresh with up and comings.  I love the above for their whimsy and color.  The first reminds me of a cool, italian market.  The second of a rainy day in sag harbor and the third's color just spoke to me.  So fresh and happy!  Check out their website for amazing art work.
