ARF Thrift Shop Designer Showhouse
05/28/2011 - By Sagaponack, NY

ARF Thrift Shop Designer Showhouse

On Saturday, May 28th the Animal Rescue Fund of The Hamptons (www.arfhamptons.org) hosted a preview cocktail party at the newly renovated ARF Thrift and Treasure Shop to celebrate its grand re-opening.

The Thrift Shop was transformed into a stunning Designer Showhouse featuring 9 rooms by renowned interior decorators including Geoffrey Bradfield, Thomas Britt, Alex Papachristidis, Mark Fichandler, Peter Hallock, Thomas Samet, Priscilla Ulmann, Marshall Watson, Sandra McConnell and Sharon Zambrelli. Each stylish room incorporated ARF Thrift Shop items and pieces donated from the designers own collections. Over 200 guests from the Hamptons social and design community attended the special evening. The event was chaired by Sandra McConnell along with Honorary Chairs Joanne Breyer and Kathy Rayner.

Guests sipped cocktails and perused the specially designed rooms, which ranged from a sophisticated dining pavilion, a writer’s lair, a “purr-fect” retreat, to an inspiring artist studio. “SOLD” stickers quickly covered the incredible furniture and decorative items for sale. The evening also included a silent auction featuring exclusive design and animal-themed items and packages. Joining in on the celebration were the true stars of the evening – a selection of ARF dogs and cats available for adoption. By the end of the night three ARF dogs had been adopted, nearly every item in the designer showhouse had been sold and $100,000 had been raised in support of ARF, the leading animal adoption center on the East End.

Guests Included: Emilia Saint-Amand and Fred Krimendahl, Liz Brown, Leslie Alexander, Betty Sherrill, Debbie Bancroft, Jeff Pfeifle, Beth and Bill Rudin, Michael and Shelley Carr, Barbara and Roy Ostrom, Ed and Pat McLaughlin, Joe and Franci Rice, Preston Phillips, Kathy and Billy Rayner, Amy Hoadley, Bob Gianos, Alison Mazzola, Lisa and Brian McCarthy, Gale and Ira Drukier, Rachel and Gary Sumers, Peter Emmerson, Polly Bruckmann and many more.

The ARF Thrift and Treasure Shop is located at 17 Montauk Highway in Sagaponack, New York and is open Monday-Saturday from 10 AM – 4 PM and Sunday from 12 PM – 4M. Please contact the Thrift Shop at 631-537-3682 or visit www.arfhamptons.org for further information.
