Newlyweds: Design Your Nest With Bride's Magazine Dream Home

Where in New York can a girl go to get chic inspiration for design and life?  Between April 24 and May 22, Brides Magazine has the answer at their Newlywed Nest!  It's presented by IKEA and designed by Inson Dubois Wood.  Visit the showhome at 311 East 11th Street on Saturdays and Sundays from11am-4pm for complimentary access to a variety of events.

 

The Newlywed Nest is hosted in a two bedroom triplex apartment at the building known as Village Green, which is targeted to be the first LEED Gold certified building in teh East Village.  The property is focused on being sustainable and innovative at the same time. Designer Inson Dubois Wood worked with IKEA and Benjamin Moore to create design solutions that mirror the same ideas of environmental and economic responsibility.

Benjamin Moore Natura and Advance create the color and paint solutions for the showhouse.  Both paints are high in quality and low on environmental impact.  Here are some of the colors he chose for the chic Scandinavian-Asian inspired designs.

Wood designed the showhome to reflect the tastes of a newlywed couple bringing their lives together, but it's full of ideas for all of us.  Here's Inson Dubois Wood's perspective as shared with the New York Times.  Known for his tendencies to "discover, reveal, and refine [your] design identities in the most tasteful of ways", Wood's natural passion for his craft is obvious.

There are so many fabulous finds at this event.  Go to bootcamp with a rooftop workout session. Sign up for one on one time with Inson Dubois Wood, design experts from IKEA and a Benjamin Moore Color Expert for personal consultations.  Meet the author of Eco Chic Home and Eco Weddings, Emily Anderson.  Purchase yummy treats from the Sweet Things Bake Shop to benefit the Lower East Side Girls Club.  Have a Girl's Night Out and preview Mark Ingram Bridal Atelier's new collection of bridal and evening gowns .  So many reasons to go and check out Brides' calendar of events!

On closing day, Saturday May 22, the Newlywed Nest will have a Tag Sale-- Cash and Carry.  Mark your calendars and get there to get great design in an instant.
