Design for Dogs

by Leave a Comment

Design for Dogs, a custom dog house design + build competition, silent auction and fundraiser has been hosted by Facings of America since 2015. A dog-centric (and most recently cat-centric) architectural event showcases one-of-a-kind dog house creations by local architects, interior designers, builders, and product showrooms.

A family-friendly event with a little something for everyone…food, music, beer and wine tasting, local vendor booths, learning opportunities for adoption and animal advocacy, a puppy kissing booth, and the opportunity to go home with cool, new custom homes for your furry friends!

Facings of America partners with the Arizona Animal Welfare League and SPCA as its beneficiary.

We saw everything from a tennis ball dispenser, solar panels, and water dispensers. What more could a pooch want!


This is no local phenomenon! 

Doggie design has become a popular lifestyle feature among consumers, quickly moving past in-home dog washing spaces to Ford inventing the Noise-Cancelling Kennel, which applies the active noise-canceling technology used in headphones to a dog’s home. IKEA launching a range of furniture just for the animals, tech company Petcube launching Internet-of-Things products that allow you to play with your pet remotely, and inventor Dominic Wilcox even designing a contemporary art exhibition for dogs to enjoy.

Thinking your personal furr-favorite is feeling a bit unpampered? Check out this current local fav from Mitchell Gold and elevate your furry friend with this modern pet bed. Loving how the chic polished stainless-steel frame and plush supportive cushion comes in 9 yummy colors. Comfy and looks good too!

 

Luxe Pros Alice and Wonderland Table Decor

by Leave a Comment

The Independent Woman Luncheon has become one of the Valley’s most beautiful and beloved philanthropic events. Enjoying its 9th year of signature tabletop décor, the luncheon celebrated the Valley’s premier design community as they came together in support of the Phoenix Art Museum’s commitment to excellence in the visual arts and education.

On March 26 the event continued in the tradition of honoring a high-profile designer as the keynote speaker. Welcoming award-winning artist and fashion illustrator, Cathy Graham to the Museum.

Once again, the Luncheon event fulfilled its promise of the return of stunning one-of-a-kind themed centerpieces created by top Valley design firms. 

 

LuxePros had the pleasure of hosting a table filled with an eclectic and whimsical selection woven into just the right amount of wrong. Like a look into Alice’s mirror, all are blended into a setting ripe for wonderment, frivolity, and dialogue. 

Outside the Looking Glass was a visual feast of everyday goods bedazzled and bewitched with color, texture, and whimsy. “Alice” was created by a Phoenix artist, Bobbi McMurry. Her work broaches a wide variety of subjects but at its core is emotion and her journey toward understanding personal situations and experiences. 

The table décor was in acknowledgment of the lasting impressions creatives leave on the lives of others; in their careers and through philanthropic giving.
