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!

Allison Hennessy captured Little Thatch Nights

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."

DUANE HAMPTON SIGNED HER BOOK ON MARK HAMPTON

The other night, Duane Hampton signed her new book, Mark Hampton An American Decorator at the product- filled design emporium, John Rosselli.

Bunny and John enjoying the huge crowd that came to fete the book.


Gorgeous flowers arranged by Howard Christian, the manager of Treillage, John and Bunny’s store on 75th Street, sits next to a great shot of Mark.


ROOMS WITH A VIEW SHOWHOUSE PARTY




Rooms with A View, the showhouse at The Congregational Church in my hometown of Southport CT is held every November, and has long been supported by Albert Hadley. This November, in its 16th year, he is honorary Chairman, and the vignettes are to be designed by Parish Hadley alums, listed above. This showhouse is not to be missed!

A cut out of Mr. Hadley in all his glory. Honorary degrees were given to the PH alums for attending The University of Albert Hadley.


The diploma (!)

The Parish Hadley alumni include Bunny Williams, David Kleinberg and David Easton.


Beautifully arranged Dahlia's on Bunny's desk.

Peonies, Roses and votives arranged around the table by Johnathan Preece, the uber talented Creative Director at Bunny's is behind the party's flowers and decorations.


Everyone raised a glass to Mr. Hadley and his commitment and dedication to the charity. This shot was taken by THE Dennis Reggie!

Even the star pendants were adorned with candles and flowers by Jonathan.


Even Sampson, Harry Heismann's Frenchie made it to have a drink.
