Co-Founder of Apartment Therapy blog is coming to LaDiff

We are SO EXCITED at LaDiff!

A few weeks ago, Brandon Fox, editor of R.Home Magazine (a subsidiary of Richmond Magazine) emailed me to see if LaDiff would be interested in hosting their annual R.Home for the Holidays event. When I heard that Maxwell Gillingham-Ryan, co-founder of the national blog Apartment Therapy would be the guest speaker, I gave a resounding yes!

So, together with one of our favorite suppliers American Leather, who are joining us as co-presenting sponsors, we are hosting this terrific event THIS WEEK!

Why would a *furniture* store who wants & likes to *sell stuff* be thrilled to host an outspoken, self-professed minimalist who lives in an under 300-square foot NYC apartment (with his wife and child, I might add)? Because Mr. Gillingham-Ryan and his blog team help us see the new and different in the world of home furnishings.

On the blog, they show how modern works with traditional, how ethnic works with glamor, how one small item can change the way a room breathes... and he does it all in an uber-organized fashion (ooh, that alone makes me giddy).

So... without further ado, we hope you will join us on Thursday, November 11th from 6pm to 9pm. You can meet and listen to Maxwell, drink some wine, nibble on some food, bid on special wreaths created by members of Richmond's design community (including one very cool wreath by Megan Pluim, Jennie Kam, and Melissa Molitor of LaDiff!), learn some holiday decor ideas, and... of course... shop at LaDiff!

Tickets are available here, and all proceeds benefit the fabulous Richmond Ballet.

See you Thursday!
