The June Total Home and Gift Market is this week from Wednesday 6/24 to Tuesday 6/30.   It is one of the biggest markets of the year and is held at Dallas’ World Trade Center and Trade Mart.

Normally I go as a spectator to see the pretty showroom vignettes and new products that these exhibitors have to offer; however, this year has been different for me as I’ve actually gotten to participate in an event!

The DMC has created a 4,200 sq ft seasonal showhome in The Grand Pavilion of The Trade Mart.  It features nine rooms fully furnished and completely decorated for Christmas with merchandise selected from exhibitor showrooms.

I was asked to design the Guest Bedroom of the home and I had so much fun participating.  Fantastic Craft did an excellent job in trimming my “Holiday Glam” room with their Christmas decor.  Photos to come!

I wanted to let you all know about the home’s Open House that will take place on Tuesday, June 30th (and will be open to the general public).  This event have a $10 entrance fee which will benefit the Dallas Furniture Bank, a charity that provides furniture to individuals and families transitioning out of homelessness.  Would love to see you there! I’ve gotten a peek at all the other rooms and they look great!

By the way, if any of you other design bloggers will be attending the Dallas Market this year, please let me know- would love to meet up!
