Get Ready for Serious High Style at DIFFA Bash
By Lauren Mang October 4, 2013
Expect nothing but tip top tabletop design at GLAM: Tablescapes, a style-filled soiree hosted by the Seattle edition of Design Industries Foundation Fighting AIDS (DIFFA). The charitable bash takes place on Thursday, October 10 at Masins in Belleveue and brings together Seattle’s best in design and fine dining who will pair up to present donated dinners (think eats from Aragona, The Georgian Room, Lucia and Monsoon East among others) elaborately staged as tablescapes. Whose tabletop designs are we prepping the Instagram for (hello, inspiration!)? Look for works from Deirdre Denckla and Tracy Reimers of Gracious House to Home, Timothy De Clue Design and Masins Fine Furnishings interior designers Rich Holliday, Christie Long and Sue Trudell. More ace interior experts, including Kelie Grosso of Maison Luxe and Susan Wheeler of Susan Wheeler Home, imparted their skills to create uber stylish wine buckets.
Guests get the chance to bid on the dinners and buckets amid cocktails, wine and bites. The best part? It’s all for a great cause. GLAM: Tablescapes at Masins Fine Furnishings and Interior Design, Thursday, October 10 from 6 to 9 p.m.
