Whether
giving
annually
to The
Battersea
Dog’s
Home in
London
or in
New York
supporting
Bideawee, April
Russell
is
passionate
about
supporting
animal
charities
and both
charities
are
close to
her
heart.
When
April is
not
jetting
between
the two
cities
running
her
bespoke
interior
design
business
April
Russell,
The Art
of
Interiors
she’s at
home
with her
two dogs
Tallulah
and
Dalores.
The snow
continued
to
threaten
but
April
had a
full
turn out
when she
hosted
an
evening
reception
in aid
of the
animal
charity
Bideawee
at the
newly
decorated
apartment
of
Norman
and
Robin
Nelson
which
April
had
recently
completed
for her
sister
and
brother
in law.
The
reception
was
organized
by Kate
Edmonds
Events.
It was
an
opportunity
for
guests
to look
through
the
newly
decorated
spaces
whilst
enjoying
delicious
hors
d’oeuvres
and
cocktails.
April
took
time to
thank
everyone
for
coming
and also
explaining
the
interior
design
journey
from
conception
to
completion.
She also
spoke
about
what is
involved
in
creating
some of
the
magical
pieces
and the
joy of
working
with
dedicated
and
talented
artisans
from
London,
Paris
and New
York.
She
said,
“It was
a
wonderful
experience
to
collaborate
with
Matthew
Yee and
Alanna
Rathbone.
We were
a
dedicated
team who
worked
very
well
together
to make
a
beautiful
home for
the
Nelsons.”
Nancy
Taylor,
President
of
Bideawee
spoke
about
the
history
of
Bidaewee,
a haven
for
animals
in need
and a
resource
for
people

pets for

hundred
years.
