The evening's theme was Carnival, with guests enjoying live music and mingling with fellow members of the New York interior design industry while nibbling Brazilian cuisine and sipping refreshing cocktails.  Topnotch door prizes were aplenty, including an Ethan Allen gift card, luxury bath fixtures, and more.
