EVENTS

Summer in the city.
Saturday, June 28, 11am–1pm


David Cieslak, an interior designer with national interior consultancy Pret-a-Habiter (www.pretusa.com, 1.800.205.0043), will turn his attention to exteriors during a lunch-time presentation on outdoor entertaining in the city. Addressing the dilemmas people face while entertaining in small spaces, the discussion will include shared deck situations, the flexibility of indoor/outdoor furniture and tips for maximizing storage space. The presentation will be about 30 minutes, after which he will provide free one-on-one consultations. While at the Studio, you’re sure to find additional inspirations included in the DWR Summer Sale. Refreshments will be served.

Pret-a-Habiter offers “ready-to-go” interior design and decoration for consumers who are interested in an easy-to-understand, lower cost and time-efficient approach to decorating their homes. The Chicago Tribune has singled out Pret-a-Habiter for its unique offering.
Based in New York City, with offices in Boston, Los Angeles, Chicago, St. Louis and Portland, their aim is to make interior design simple, fun and affordable.
