Stately Homes by the Sea Designer Showhouse

In just 8 days, the Stately Home by the Sea Grand Opening will reveal the top interior designers choices for transforming a mega tudor style mansion into a gleaming piece of design art. And, even MORE exciting, is that one of my paintings will be featured in the guest bedroom suite designed by Lauren Guarcello of Porter Design Company. You can see my post on Lauren here, but you know that bedroom she designed for the 2011 showhouse anywhere! It was pinned and posted on blogs everywhere...not to mention several features in Traditional Home Magazine.

Most importantly, proceeds from tours and sales go to the Visiting Nurses Association Health Group. Founded in 1912, VNAHG, is the largest voluntary, nonprofit in home health, private care, hospice and community wellness organization in New Jersey caring for more than 120,000 individuals each year. Very close to my heart as my full time job at Allscripts helps provide software solutions for these home health workers so they have more efficient days and better clinical information about their patients. It all means better care for sick patients:-)

The 11,000 square foot Harthorne Mansion was built in 1929 by world champion figure skater Harold Harthorne and designed by noted architect Roger Harrington Bullard.

Here are the fabric and color inspirations from Lauren that helped me create the perfect painting for the room. We went with a take on my Mod Floral series.

I CANNOT wait for the big reveal! Stay tuned.
