Juan Montoya will be presenting on “Custom Tailored Spaces” at 2:00 PM in the Center Court. His work is always on the cutting edge, Juan Montoya’s work exudes refinement and simplicity. Each of his designs features a juxtaposition of textures, colors, and volumes; an attention to scale, lighting, and spatial qualities; and objects that reflect an interest in a variety of cultures.

Montoya is not wedded to a particular style or period. He believes the careful placement of objects can, and should, enhance a room’s space and scale. In this presentation, Montoya will walk designers through four of his never before published projects. Set in varied locales across the world, he will discuss how important it is to have the culture and beauty of the region influence the design and materials used. With each project, he will discuss his inspiration, process and philosophy in designing homes.

Roger Thomas will be presenting on “Luxury Design without Limits” at 10:00 AM at the Center Court.

Experience 5-Star design through the eyes of the award winning designer Roger Thomas, the creative genius behind the world famous Wynn hotels in Las Vegas and Macau. Roger has the self described distinction of being the only designer “that can over spend an unlimited budget.” His designs and over-the-top luxury have mesmerized the world and have taken interior design to new heights. A Hospitality Design Platinum Circle member and an Architectural Digest’s Top 100 designers, travel with Roger though the creative process and execution of some of the world’s finest interiors.

For this past New Year’s eve we took the advice of Kayla Kitts from HGTV (she posts in entertainment and homemade). She posts about the classic party poppers, how to make them and how they can be a fun and chic favor idea. We made them a couple days ago and she is right… they were easy to make and are just as festive on the outside as they are on the inside.

We used recycled gift-wrap tubing, filled it with cellophane-wrapped chocolates, decorated with ribbon and colored paper. We labeled them by numbers and had our friends draw numbers from a hat.

She also has an amazing cocktail recipe perfect for that classic midnight toast.  Click here to read all about it.
