SPRING FEVER IS IN THE AIR AT LENOX HILL!

Warm days are here and with that comes Spring Fever, the theme of Lenox Hill Neighborhood House's annual benefit where tippity top interior designers create glorious tables to celebrate the harbinger of spring. This year, honorary chairs Bunny Williams and John Rosselli gathered 45 designers to set tables decked out in spring finery at Cipriani 42nd Street. What a stellar year- creative genius was out in force.
Enjoy the floral festiveness!

The table was inspired by an umbrella I had shown on Stylebeat that she purchased from The Indian Garden Company. She shared, "I wanted to pair the neutral large patterned umbrella with a smaller colored print and that's where the Duralee printed table cloth came from. The simple green grasses and accents were inspired by an arrangement by Colin Cowie in his book Wedding Chic."
