Be there... Chair Affair 2011

The past three years I have organized (with fabulous volunteers) the Chair Affair , a furniture design competition put on by Interior Designers of Idaho that happens here in Boise Idaho. This year its being put together by a lovely group of ladies, and I am their helper!! This event raises money for Interior Design scholarships in the state of Idaho, and is a great way to see new trends in furniture design, showcasing student and professional talent.

This year, like most there is a Lecture Series on Friday April 22nd from 10:30am-1pm at the Double Tree Riverside, we will feature two excellent lectures, and lunch for only $25 (online). The Gala Event is Saturday April 23rd from 7-11pm at The Linen Building, at this event you can view all entrants, vote for the people's choice award, and then awards will be presented. The admission price for the gala is $20 for Adults (online) and $10 for Children (13 & Under). Entertainment will provided, hors d'oeuvres, and no-host bar. There will also be the Silent auction for the idi Artist Lamp Series and Raffle prizes!

The Re:Use cup challenge will be happening again this year, which includes children and adult entries and prizes. See poster for more info. These cups will be voted on at the Gala event, and you do not need to be present to win.

See last years article in the Boise Weekly, for more information on this event.

The Flowers

Wanted to share some photos of the flower arrangements I did this past weekend for the Interior Designer's of Idaho Chair Affair event. The event itself was a lot of fun, and I hope to share more pictures in the coming weeks.

We had a total of 42 entries, and 90 cup chairs for the event... and it was well attended. There was also this great article written by the Boise Weekly the week of the event.
