| This year’s Designers’ Show House promised
to excite the senses and more than delivered on its word. Leading designers
from 12 local and nationally recognized firms showcased their talent,
style and creativity in a Mediterranean-style home located in the historic
El Cid neighborhood of West Palm Beach. The successful event raised money
to benefit the American Red Cross-Greater Palm Beach Area Chapter. |

Interiors in West Palm Beach, used vibrant outdoor fabrics and comfortable
furniture to create a warm, welcoming feel on the front patio. Pecky-cypress
beams, decorative molding and a lantern-style fixture reflect the home’s
Mediterranean roots. |

| Gold-toned, faux-painted walls provide
a textural backdrop for traditional fabrics and furnishings in the living
room/study. Designed by Marigil M. Walsh with Joann M. Fullen and Diane
Stein, of Astorino in Palm Beach Gardens and Pittsburg, Pa., this eclectic
space illustrates how a layered design can make a strong, cohesive statement.

| Yellow-toned fabrics from Lee Jofa and
Brunschwig & Fils, and walls painted in a brighter version of this
hue give the sitting room a sunny disposition. Stephen Mooney, of Richard
Plumer Design in West Palm Beach, designed this tranquil space with comfort
and relaxation in mind. |

| Cindy West Ray, OF CINDY RAY Interiors,
Inc. in Lantana Point, AND HER DESIGN TEAM mixed vintage pieces with cutting-edge
design elements in the master bedroom. |
|
| Influenced by India, China and Morocco,
designer Jennifer Garrigues, of Jennifer Garrigues Interior Designs, Inc.
in Palm Beach and New York, transformed the media room/cabana into an
exotic hideaway. Plump seating speaks to the room’s laid-back elegance,
while accessories from afar enhance the room’s worldly appeal. |
