OK soooo in case you missed it (highly unlikely) I am just writing one last little post to remind you all that The Design Files Open House 2013 is officially open today in Hawthorn, Melbourne - Woohoo, we got there! After an epic few months of preparation, and a super busy week bumping in, we are SO pumped to throw open the doors today and share this very special project with you all!  If you’re in Melbourne please do pop down and pay us a visit! We're open today for four days, 10.00am - 5.00pm everyday until this Sunday Nov 24th. Andddd... if you need a little further encouragement, we thought we’d share a little sneak peek today! These beautiful shots were captured yesterday by Brooke Holm, and there are also some cute social pics from our opening night event last night.  Thankyou Brooke for the epic turnaround on these shots!  Please forgive the lack of captioning on the social shots in the image gallery... there are 82 shots and so many faces - you know who you are! [gallery columns="4" orderby="rand"] ENORMOUS THANKS once again to our Major Event Sponsors – Jardan, Mini, Dulux, Country Road and Petaluma!  We are so grateful for their support of this project!  Also huge thanks to all the amazing artists, designers, local businesses and friends who have participated and supported this crazy venture once again this year - especially Cookes Food who cooked up a storm for our opening event last night, and Melanie at Cecilia Fox for our beautiful flowers, and Esther at The Project Agency, the most INCREDIBLE publicist and event manager any client could wish for. A special thanks is in order also to our most excellent team, especially the bump in crew who have worked tirelessly over the last few weeks to pull this thing off -  Mel D'Alessandro, Jen Booth, Marni Kornhauser, Sean Dennis, Huw Smith, my talented fella Gordon Johnson, my wonderful Mum, and the AMAZING Lisa Marie Corso (words cannot express her energy, enthusiasm and work ethic, honestly, Lisa, I love you!).  Thankyou ALL for the hours you have all put in this week - GO TEAM!
