DIFFA – highlights, at last!

DIFFA‘s Dining By Design tabletop extravaganza swirled into Atlanta in late October, to the delight of many local designers and businesses bringing their creative edge to new heights in the name of AIDS. The event, held at Mason Murer, drew some of the city’s top talents.

Assistant Editor Kelly Kunkel and I got a sneak preview before the main event. Our favorites? The Airstream Trailor serving as the backdrop for Sandy Thigpen for Design Within Reach‘s tabletop replete with mason jar vases and gerber daisies; Waldenour‘s all-natural, organic vignettes, and Fio Pichardo of OwenLawrence‘s wedding table (Disclaimer: We’re a little biased here; Kelly’s getting married in July and I just tied the knot in September. If only we could have been so lucky to have Fio design our extravaganzas!)
