Design Matters
3
The inaugural Design Matters program took place on Oct. 17 at The Carolina Inn, featuring a presentation by internationally recognized interior designer Shelley Johnstone and moderated by her friend Tori Mellott, style director of Frederic Magazine. A plated lunch for nearly 150 followed their conversation, and then guests were able to meet Shelley and receive their copy of “A Loving Table,” a new book she co-authored. The afternoon companion event, Set the Table, welcomed nearly 200 additional guests, who were also able to meet Shelley for a book signing and view inspirational tabletops, masterfully created by interior and floral designers from across the state and accented by stunning artwork available for purchase. The initiative raised more than $100,000 for the Fitch Family Comprehensive Pediatric Rehabilitation Program at UNC Children’s Hospital. Photography by Anna Routh Barzin CHM
