Elissa Grayer Interior Design included Nourison’s abstract Twilight rug (TWI24) in Blue and Ivory in a pink and navy themed vignette. Francis Interiors “Fifty Shades of Grey” vignette featured the Maxell rug (MAE01) in Ivory Grey, Calvin Klein Home Lunar rug in Storm (LUN1) detailed with a luminescent radiance and velvet-like texture, and kathy ireland Home Studio shag (KI900) in Silver. “As Grey is my favorite color, I wanted to do something monochromatic,” says Francis Toumbakaris of Francis Interiors. Mina Victory Home Accents added to the vignette, with beaded skull & crossbones, basket weave leather and shag pillows and throw blankets in Steel Grey.

For the fourth year in a row, Design on a Dime has raised over 1 million towards the mission to end AIDS and homelessness.
