			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This past Sunday I had fun, fun, fun at <a title="DIFFA" href="http://diffa.org/">DIFFA&#8217;s Dining by Design Table Hop &amp; Taste</a> at the <a title="LA Mart" href="http://www.lamart.com/">LA Mart </a>. Designer&#8217;s and Sponsors get together, decorate tables and serve up yummy food to raise money for AIDS.  About 15 of LA&#8217;s top eateries like <a href="http://www.wilshirerestaurant.com/">Wilshire</a>, <a href="http://www.vanillabakeshop.com/">Vanilla Bake Shop</a> and <a href="http://www.anfamily.com/portalpage.html">Crustacean</a> served up tasty treats while the glamourous crowd checked out the amazing table designs.</p>
<p><a title="img_1623.JPG" rel="attachment wp-att-91" href="http://dennisdesigngroup.com/greenblog/2008/09/diffa-los-angeles-2008-design-industries-fighting-aids/attachment/91/"><img src="http://dennisdesigngroup.com/greenblog/wp-content/uploads/2008/09/img_1623.JPG" alt="img_1623.JPG" width="350" /></a></p>
<p><a href="http://www.benjaminmoore.com/">Benjamin Moore </a>delighted with a colorful table decorated with the most interesting use of paint chips I&#8217;ve ever seen.  The added bonus, was the use of discountinued color chips- reuse at it&#8217;s most inventive.</p>
<p><a title="img_1627.JPG" rel="attachment wp-att-92" href="http://dennisdesigngroup.com/greenblog/2008/09/diffa-los-angeles-2008-design-industries-fighting-aids/attachment/92/"><img src="http://dennisdesigngroup.com/greenblog/wp-content/uploads/2008/09/img_1627.JPG" alt="img_1627.JPG" width="350" /></a></p>
<p>My favorite dinner setting was this horse dominated table.  Imagine the fun you could have at this soiree.  I also liked the fact that the center piece is a living plant, so you don&#8217;t have to continuosly replace the center piece with fresh cut flowers. You could also plant parsley to pluck after dinner for fresh breath.</p>
<p><a title="img_1628.JPG" rel="attachment wp-att-95" href="http://dennisdesigngroup.com/greenblog/2008/09/diffa-los-angeles-2008-design-industries-fighting-aids/attachment/95/"><img src="http://dennisdesigngroup.com/greenblog/wp-content/uploads/2008/09/img_1628.JPG" alt="img_1628.JPG" width="350" /></a></p>
<p>New kid on the block, Preston Lee&#8217;s table made me smile when I saw two paintings by artist Robert Ivers which were made for us a few months back.  Unfortunately they were too tall for our space and consequently we couldn&#8217;t use them.  It was so nice to see Preston take these babies to an entirely new height!</p>
<p><a title="img_1631.JPG" rel="attachment wp-att-96" href="http://dennisdesigngroup.com/greenblog/2008/09/diffa-los-angeles-2008-design-industries-fighting-aids/attachment/96/"><img src="http://dennisdesigngroup.com/greenblog/wp-content/uploads/2008/09/img_1631.JPG" alt="img_1631.JPG" width="350" /></a></p>
<p>My favorite breakfast spot was this Swedish inspired setting by Bliss which proves you just can&#8217;t take the girly out of this girl. There wasn&#8217;t anything particularly green about it, I just thought it was very pretty.</p>
<p><a title="img_1634.JPG" rel="attachment wp-att-97" href="http://dennisdesigngroup.com/greenblog/2008/09/diffa-los-angeles-2008-design-industries-fighting-aids/attachment/97/"><img src="http://dennisdesigngroup.com/greenblog/wp-content/uploads/2008/09/img_1634.JPG" alt="img_1634.JPG" width="350" /></a></p>
<p>Lexus and Kelly Laplante were responsible for this tacky mess of a table. The greenest of all, with chairs from Craigslist, table top covered in <a href="http://www.innovationsusa.com/">Innovations </a>Environments, a horrible,  tiny mirror- lost on the wall, organic &#8220;crafty&#8221; wall paper and a pathetic excuse for floral arrangements (water badly in need of a change), I couldn&#8217;t have been more disappointed.  With every other table in the place making a grand, gorgeous statement, this one put our &#8220;green can be glamourous&#8221; campaign at the back of the line.</p>
<p>All in all the event was huge success which raised money for a great cause! I&#8217;m glad I went.</p>
