The showhouse consisted of eight rooms and one outside cottage. Each space was highlighted by a distinguished designer and given designations including “Dinner with the Captain” which included madras plaid cotton patchwork wallpaper, naval plates and place settings which included Thurston, Lovey, Skipper and of course Gilligan. “Dinner with the Captain was orchestrated by Richard Keith Langham.
The event was chaired by Gordon H. Hoppe, Gigi Mahon, Alex Papachristidis and Marshall Watson and the sale lasted till 4 pm on Memorial Day, Monday. During the cocktail event, guests were able to peruse the shop, sip wine donate by Channing Daughters, taste light bites by Fig & Pig and mingle with the designers or visit the ARF mobile pet adoption van.
