Designers’ Show House has links to Poe

Dugan transforme­d the master bedroom into a “bedfellows’ haven,” using colors like sea glass blue and five silk lavender, green and plaid pillows as her inspiratio­n.

“The feeling of the room is very calm and tranquil, and just very relaxing and comfortabl­e as a bedroom should be, but it’s going to have some fun colors added, which always pull a room together and make it interestin­g,” said Dugan, a Luthervill­e artist and interior designer.

Her original artwork adorns the room, which also features a white textured rug and a white bedspread to provide contrast with the other colors.

“My intent is to make a really beautiful room that is appealing to men and women and everybody,” Dugan said.

With more than a dozen other designers, it’s likely attendees will find something they like, Penhallego­n said.

“People who are curious about what other people do to their homes — they can look look around at what is fresh and new, or what they might be able to add to their own home, what’s popular, which blue is in this season,” she said. “And people who are younger people who are looking at their own home and how will they furnish it.”

Oakland’s lower level will host the Show House’s boutique, which will feature around a dozen vendors, selling artisanal and other unique goods.
