2010 DC Design House Opens April 10th

It’s that time of year again, when the DC Design House Committee open the doors to their spectacular new Design House, this year in Chevy Chase.  Here are a few words from the committee:

Welcome to the 2010 DC Design House – Washington, DC’s premier design house showcasing the talents of the area’s finest designers – to benefit Children’s National Medical Center.

We are delighted to host this notable event in the lovely Georgian-style country home with a history as a center for social activity in the Metro area. The home was the site of the inauguration party for Harry S. Truman and was a former residence for the Ambassadors of Mauritius and Uruguay.

The home located at 3911 Bradley Lane, Chevy Chase, Maryland is the site of the 2010 DC Design House to benefit Children’s National Medical Center. This grand country house was built in 1905 for Mr. and Mrs. Worthington Ford as a small stucco home on land purchased from the Chevy Chase Land Company. In June of 1910, Mr. and Mrs. John Ryan Devereux purchased the home from the Fords to live in, along with their ten children.

Niermann Weeks Welcomes Saladino For Savel to our Showrooms

Saladino Collection for Savel Fabrics

Saladino Collection for Savel Fabrics

Niermann Weeks introduces a treasure, the Saladino for Savel fabric collection.

Often referred to as the designers’ designer, John Saladino’s timeless work continues his philosophy of mixing “old with new” and appeals to both traditional and modern clients.  John Saladino’s unique aesthetic is reflected in these soothing, lush fabrics. An offering of mohair, silk velvet, linen, wide width sheers, and subtle patterns are offered in Mr. Saladino’s distinctive palette. Nuanced and unified, the collection is a new chapter of the Saladino style.  These designs aptly represent his statement, “I am a romantic by nature, a minimalist by training, but by choice a classicist.”

We will be featuring this exciting new collection during Fall Market in our New York Showroom on Wednesday, October 7th & Thursday, October 8th.  Please stop by and see us!
