As yet another Holiday approaches this weekend. We wanted to share with you our Holiday photos. Holiday House was a smashing success. The Dining Room was a popular venue for many types of press. Fox 5 conducted several interviews with both Design Editors and Antiques Editor of Traditional Home Magazine, not to mention an expose given by Felicia Zwebner of how to make the most of Thanksgiving without being cliché…click here to see Thanksgiving Without Using Turkeys
Editor at Large also got in on the action by conducting a casual and entertaining interview with Felicia regarding her take on the Holiday season from decorating to gift giving and more…
The Dining Room also was the venue for theatre performances. Ironically enough the play that was performed was called “The Long Christmas Dinner” by The Fundamental Theatre Project directed by Sam Underwood. It was fascinating to see how a room comes alive once there are actors performing in the space. The majority of the furniture was created by Felicia from FZ Collection (www.fzcollection.net). The sound and movement of the actors breathed life into the room. Since there were only several performances and 6 weeks of show house touring, Felicia decided to incorporate the concept of sound into the designed space. However given the age of the home coupled with the antiquated lighting there were very few outlets to be had. Lighting was also important since the room is enveloped in dark paneling so clearly lamps (requiring outlets) would take precedence. Therefore, in collaboration with Saga Electronics, Felicia used special bulbs for the lamps that contained sound bytes. These sounds filled the room, by the window one could hear the sound of horse hoofs clopping through Old New York, the tables had dinner conversation (which was recorded by the very actors that were performing), the fireplace had the rustling of leaves, and by the seating area the French Sultry Music by Edith Piaf.
