HELLO FRIENDS!

As the hordes of interior design enthusiasts on Twitter are well aware, today, June 14th, 2010 is #NateDay, celebrating the work of interior design talent, Nate Berkus.


Many of you may be familiar with Nate's work from his numerous installments on Oprah's show, as well as his editorial spreads in various shelter magazines.  Considering the way his interiors have such an effect on so many, we decided to explore some of the reasons his work is makes such an impact:


* Nate Berkus seems to understand the difference between a house and a home.  He designs spaces for the people who will live in them, and creates settings that suit the needs of their individual lifestyles.
* Relatable rooms - Nate's designs keep a focus on interactions.  They are oriented toward conversing and entertaining.  He never overlooks the social side of living.
* It's all about the mix.  Every Nate Berkus space seems to maintain the proper mix of old and new, mix of textures and finishes, and mix of color palates.  Mixing these elements add depth and interest to any home.


Psst: FYI: The Nate Berkus Show launches September 13th.

Spring 2010 Design Walk!

HELLO FRIENDS!  We just want to give a big THANK YOU to so many who made the Spring 2010 Design Walk such a great success!


The event was blessed with truly gorgeous weather, but even more beautiful were the throngs of smiling faces who flooded upper King Street to eye the wealth of offerings in Charleston's distinctive Design District.


The event's kick-off celebration, led by Mayor Riley, could not have been more perfect, capped off by the Mayor seated in a pedi-cab outfitted with an iPad and receiving a tutorial on the tours available thru City Slicker's fascinating app!

Once the event was underway, shoppers at Dwelling enjoyed the sounds of DJ Sonar, who was spinning at the turntables and keeping the groove going throughout the night.


Dwelling guests also enjoyed tasty sweets from Christophe Chocolatier, featuring their gorgeous hand painted chocolates, truffles, and clever chocolate sculptures!

Beautiful arrangements of fresh Spring flowers graced our cocktail tables and consoles throughout the store, thanks to the talent and style of Stems!


And adding energy and tech-style to our store, the City Slicker crew were here giving iPad demos of their tour app.  Crowds gathered in the rear of the store to explore the sites, shopping, and restaurants of Charleston in a whole new way.


All in all, it was a great night.  We so appreciate the continued support of all those who come to King Street to explore and experience Charleston's diverse and accomplished design community.  Cheers to all for a fun evening!
