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.

"A key element of my design style and philosophy is to surround yourself with things you love," said Annette Joseph.  "Most of the things you will find in my Designer's Gallery event, I own myself!  Pillows, rugs, linens and lighting are quick, easy and affordable fixes to add your own personality to a room.  I'm honored the members of The Foundary are opening their homes to me and I look forward to sharing my passion and inspiration with them through my special event."

Joseph, whose favorite room to design is the kitchen, loves mixing modern touches with older, rustic pieces.  She notes, "A bit of roughness, some industrial lighting, combined with a few modern flairs, can bring a room to life.  Find some basic go to accessories, remove unnecessary clutter, add some coffee table books and fresh flowers and your home can be ready to be featured in the best home design magazines."

"We're thrilled to introduce members of The Foundary to Annette Joseph, whose work has been seen in some of most influential home design magazines and TV shows," said Rob Anderson, General Manager of The Foundary.  "Our members have responded with great enthusiasm to our Designer's Gallery events as we continue to distinguish our offerings and help them fuel their personal passion for turning a house into a home."
