What:                     On March 19, 2010 Hearts and Hope, Inc. opened the doors to “Designer Avenue, A Celebration of Children and Families” at Downtown at the Gardens in suite 3107 across from Sur La Table.  The event kicked-off with a special Grand Opening Preview Cocktail Party with food and wine provided and underwritten by Whole Foods Market. Downtown at the Gardens generously donated the space for Hearts and Hope to create the “Designers’ Showcase” which runs through April 18th. The Showcase features 10 children and family themed spaces created by 10 extremely talented designers. The designers are Melissa Ziober, ASID and Scotty Rawley of RZ Design Group, LLC; Noe X Guerra of NXG Architecture, Inc.; Jack Fhillips Designs; Katherine Shenaman Interiors, Angela Reynolds Designs, LLC; Carolyn Roy Interiors; Casablanca Design Group; The Good Stuff; Greg Lombardi Design, Inc. and Home Life Interiors.

 

Co-Chairs Melissa Ziober of RZ Design Group and Noe X. Guerra, Hearts and Hope Board member, of NXG Architecture Inc. brought together the ten extremely talented interior designers to create the unique children’s bedrooms and family spaces. In addition to being one of the interior designers, architect Noe X. Guerra also designed the space for “Designer Avenue” and arranged for the space to be built at no cost. “It has been an incredible experience,” says Co-Chair Noe X. Guerra. “We have carpenters, electricians and craftsman all who donated their time and materials to make this event come to fruition. I particularly want to thank Dan Reedy of Onshore Construction for his help in building the designer spaces, it is a great gift! We are also thrilled to have Downtown at the Gardens as a partner by donating a store in which we were able to make this all happen.

 

More than 140 guests attended the event and each was able to preview the 10 fabulous children and family spaces. The event featured fantastic music provided by musician and entertainer, Billy Bones, a Silent Auction of treasures and a teddy bear raffle where one lucky winner took home a $10,000 diamond heart necklace. 

 

The Designer Avenue also features a boutique where 15% of the proceeds are donated to Hearts and Hope, Inc. The boutique created by interior designer Carolyn Roy features one-of-a-kind jewelry, vintage collectables, photography, hand painted totes, haviana’s and much more.

 

In addition to the children’s themed rooms by top area designers, The Hearts and Hope, Inc. Designer Avenue is proud to sponsor an art exhibition featuring the artwork of students from the Palm Beach County area schools including William T. Dwyer, Jupiter High School and The Benjamin School.  The grand prize winner of this juried artwork will receive a hundred dollars for their school’s art department.   In addition, The Benjamin School students also have displayed mirrored mosaics and created a wall mural and “hopscotch” floor mural bringing visitors through the path of the 10 exquisite rooms.

 

Other upcoming special events in conjunction with Designer Avenue include;

 

An Evening of “Jazz and Pizzazz” entertainment provided by The Benjamin Middle School Jazz Band and directed by Christine Murray to be held at Downtown at the Gardens - Center Courtyard on Wednesday, April 7th at 4:15 pm.  Also, pamper your tummy with “Pepper In Some Hope” at Chili’s with 10% of sales to benefit Hearts and Hope.
