Designers, Developers, and Decor Addicts: Don’t Miss DesignPhiladelphia

Design. It's right there in front of us when we're buying a home. It's at the very front of our minds when we're trying to develop, remodel, or sell. And it certainly deserves a celebration and reflection all its own, right here in Philadelphia. We've posted about tomorrow evening's kick-off party at West Elm for DesignPhiladelphia, which runs from October 7 - 17.  But we also wanted to mention a couple of other events that jumped out at us.

There are so many designers and experts in the city with exciting ideas and exhibits. If you are attending this year, which events are you going to?

IDA – Interior Design Awards, October 7th, 11:00am - 3:00pm, Liberty Place, 16th and Chestnut Street

We always stress how important interior design and staging can be and it'll be interesting to see the winners for this year and how they are innovating the industry.

Re(New)Purpose, October 13th, 5:00pm - 7:00pm, 7:30pm - 10:30pm, Front & Palmer, 1750 North Front Street

Somebody can always turn your junk into a gem. And then make you wish you had thought of that. There's an entire exhibit dedicated to furniture and art that has been re-cast  as covetable items.

Food and Design, October 9th, 10:00am – 2:00pm, Teknika Design Group, 225 Race Street
