On April 25th 2013, the largest-ever roster of designers and celebrities will come together for Housing Works’ spectacular interior design shopping benefit, Design on a Dime. Located at the Metropolitan Pavilion in Chelsea, the benefit event will feature 62 of the world’s top interior talent. Each designer will create a room vignette using new, donated merchandise, from the most sought after brands which is then sold for 50 to 70 percent off retail pricing.
All five of this years Co-Chairs, Yetta Banks, Genevieve Gorder, Evette Ríos, Sabrina Soto and Lara Spencer, will lend their design to a room and attend the event to raise funds for Housing Works. Housing Works is a non-profit with a mission to end AIDS and homelessness.
Genevieve Gorder will repeat her collaboration with event sponsor, Valspar Paint to create a colorful room vignette. “As a designer I hope to bring joy into every landscape that I create,” says the HGTV Design Star judge. “I’m proud to support an organization like Housing Works who embodies that same philosophy. They don’t just provide housing throughout New York City. Housing Works creates homes.”
Design on a Dime 2013 will benefit Housing Works’ Hull Street Residence: A new housing development project consisting of 30 permanent units of supportive housing for single, formerly homeless adults living with HIV/AIDS. The Hull Street Residence Project is the first from-the-ground up project for Housing Works since 2001.
Event sponsors include HSBC Private Bank, One King’s Lane, Valspar Paint and returning media sponsor ELLE DECOR.
