GETTING COMFORTABLE, OPRAH STYLE

I wanted to let you all know about a fantastic upcoming event sponsored by O at Home and O, The Oprah Magazine on Thurs., August 21st from 7-9pm.

The theme, Comfort at Home, is taken up by experts who will be addressing those most essential home elements: finances, food, and furnishing!

Financial expert Jean Chatzky will be speaking about finding your financial comfort zone.

Interior designer, Thom Filicia from Queer Eye for the Straight Guy, will be giving advice on how to create a comfortable home.

And, last but not least, Chef Art Smith (Oprah's former personal chef) will be performing comfort food demonstrations.

Being an interior design junkie, I am particularly excited to hear what Thom has to say. I saw the pictures of Thom's cottage home in a recent issue of Domino magazine and absolutely fell in love. I saved in my folder of home inspirations, but Domino is also nice enough to keep a slideshow online so you can see for yourself. I mean, the windows, the stairs, the floors - wood and flagstone, the lake, the dog! what is not to love.

Anyhow, I didn't want you all to miss out on this awesome opportunity to get up close and personal with some really amazing folks. It is sure to be a terrific evening.

Oh, and as an added bonus, a portion of the proceeds from ticket sales are going to Teach for America. So, you can feel really good about going.
