The 6th annual Alley’s House Art Auction will be hosted this Saturday, March 6 at American Fine Art Gallery in the Dallas Design District. I learned about this great charity event from Toni Patterson, an Alley’s House board member who just happens to be a LowerOakLawn.com reader and art enthusiast. In researching for this post I’ve learned a lot about the work that Alley’s House does and I am thrilled to be able to promote an event of such a worthy Dallas non-profit!
Alley’s House’s mission is to empower teen mothers and their children to achieve independence through support services, education, and mentoring. They were recently featured on WFAA in a segment introduced by none other than Oprah Winfrey! Keep Reading…

Driving back from lunch today I noticed some new signs up over at The Meddlesome Moth (The Moth, for short). The Lower Oak Lawn restaurant, currently under construction, was a bustle with activity as construction teams filtered in and out preparing for The Moth’s much anticipated opening.
Named Pantone’s color of the year, turquoise is2010’s hot color in fashion and interior design. It’s everywhere — from the runway, to the blogs, and, inevitably, to the showrooms of the Design District.
The blue-green hue can be spotted at Anteks Home Furnishings where a new chair rocks turquoise in a big way. This hand-carved French Bergere chair is upholstered in turquoise crocodile and turquoise quilted leather. The unique mix of rustic and contemporary styles is exactly what I love about the furnishings at Anteks.
What do you think of the chair? And the color turquoise? Get your opinion on the record by leaving a comment below! And be sure to send me your other turquoise finds in the Design District to feature!
