What an amazing week!  This was my installation for the Dinner by Design exhibit on the historic trading floor of the Design Exchange as a fundraiser for the DX and Casey House.  Installation was a hectic whirlwind within 24 hours but everything came together thanks to all of the supporting contributors.  I designed a 13 foot long Caesarstone and walnut table, had custom designed wallpaper printed by Rollout, and a heroic crew from Gillanders Construction came to install walls and hang precious artwork from the AGO and Hollace Cluny.  There was a cocktail reception as well as a lavish dinner the next evening, followed by an open-to-the-public display.  I also survived a Pecha Kucha talk moderated by Amy Rosen, thank goodness.  And I made a cookbook called Meals to Share! [version 1.0...]
