Design on a Dime 2012 Pictures

Last week, Housing Works presented New York City’s most popular interior design benefit event at the Metropolitan Pavilion in Chelsea, Design on a Dime. The eighth annual Design on a Dime featured more than 50 of the world’s top interior designers, who created unforgettable room vignettes with new merchandise, which was donated and then sold for 50 to 70 percent off retail pricing.

If you missed the event, you're in luck, because we have vignettes from many of the designer rooms. Keep clicking to take a look, and afterwards, consider donating to Housing Works. Founded in 1990, Housing Works provides lifesaving services to homeless and low-income New Yorkers living with HIV/AIDS. Since 2005, the Design on a Dime event has raised more than $2 million in support of Housing Works.
