By Home Furnishings Business in on May 2007 Furnishings and lifestyle designer Barclay Butera will create a special room vignette for Housing Works Thrift Shops’ third annual Design on a Dime charity event in New York City, sponsored by Real Simple magazine. The three-day charitable event commences with a VIP benefit on May 17.

Butera’s room will combine a relaxed beach feel with a look of sophistication by incorporating clean-lined glassware and tabletop with red as the accent color, orchids, and coral and sea shell accents. Natural fabrics and elements will be used.

Following the May 17 benefit is a two-day sale of merchandise from the participating interiors designers and brands at 70 percent off retail prices. The sale runs through the May 19 and is free and open to the public, with all proceeds from the benefit and sale go to Housing Works, a major community-based AIDS service organization helping to improve the lives of people living in New York with HIV/AIDS.
