Celebrity Design Expert & TV Personality, Courtney Cachet, Brings 'Livable Chic' Style to The Foundary Designer's Gallery

OMAHA, Neb., May 2, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- The Foundary, an exclusive, members-only home and lifestyle flash sale site, today announced its largest "Designer's Gallery" special sales event to date, featuring a collection of home furnishings, home accessories and lifestyle products from Courtney Cachet, celebrity design expert for NBC's "Open House" and "George to the Rescue" and popular style blogger for The Huffington Post.  

The special Courtney Cachet Designer's Gallery sales event will begin at 11:00am EDT on Monday, May 2, 2011 at http://www.TheFoundary.com. Among the designers, brands and products featured in the Courtney Cachet Designer's Gallery Event at The Foundary are chairs, ottomans and mirrors from Global Views, Safavieh rugs, Kichler lighting, towels and linens from CassaDecor, Soopsorieco-friendly wooden toys, children's furniture from Legare, Numsi wall art, Creatively Engaged stationery and more.

"I'm so glad that I have the opportunity to bring my sense of affordable luxe, or what I like to call 'livable chic,' to The Foundary," Cachet said. "I have hand-picked several products which most closely represent my decor style and my brand. On The Foundary, you'll feel like you're shopping in a small boutique instead of a large department store."

Courtney appears regularly on NBC's "Open House," the number one show on WNBC-TV in New York, now airing on all NBC owned and operated affiliates across the country. Courtney is also a regular on "George to the Rescue," NBC's popular, nationally syndicated home makeover show. Additionally, Courtney's work has been showcased on The Today Show and she was the only designer to be featured on the premiere episode of "LX New York," NYC's popular lifestyle and design showcase.

The Foundary offers members daily selections from established and emerging designers and brands at unprecedented savings, up to 70% off retail.  Consistent with the mission of The Foundary, the "Designer's Gallery" events focus on "products of substance"-- distinctive products that inspire, share a story or define a point of view --chosen for members by designers who, themselves, have spent their lives sharing a passion for design and a love of home.

"Courtney Cachet's sense of affordable luxury and her passion for design is consistent with our mission to help members of The Foundary share something about themselves through their home and personal style," said Rob Anderson, General Manager of The Foundary.  "Courtney has selected a diverse and wonderfully expressive collection of products for her Designer's Gallery event, which offers our members something for every area of the home."

Courtney got her start in Miami on the local NBC affiliate. Overnight, she became the go-to-girl for all things home and lifestyle. Her genuine personality and natural ease on camera became an instant hit with viewers. Since then, she's logged hundreds of NBC TV appearances across the country. She has also appeared as an on-air design expert for MSNBC, HLN, HSN and DIY Network.  When she's not curating stylish collections on style - home, accessories, gifts - Courtney is often found writing about style for the Huffington Post. Her social media sites are packed daily with fun, informative content for those seeking an affordable, yet elegant lifestyle.

The Foundary Designer's Gallery events will be held every three weeks and promoted via Facebook at http://www.facebook.com/TheFoundary, email and at http://www.TheFoundary.com.
