Elegance, good taste and manners dominated the evening of October 14, 2015.
When Restoration Hardware opened its door, they were not just any doors, mind you. They were large as castle doors that opened onto a marble foyer sparkling with exquisite chandeliers enhanced by subtle low-lighting. On entering, one simply followed the arched entrances into each differently well-decorated library, living room, den, bedroom, or sitting room. To the non-royals invited, it was like entering a royal villa in Monte Carlo.
The invitation-only guest list was dotted with local celebs known for their business, talent and philanthropic endeavors. The evening was for show and appreciation, RH wanted to show off this magnificent work of art to the public, that is now part of the Cherry Creek Mall. Though it was elegant and over-the-top, it was not a total for-show evening or, for that matter, one for successful profiling. Guests came to support the evening’s benefactors which were Children’s Hospital Colorado and The Denver Art Museum.
The new Restoration Hardware store is hands-down one of the most elegant and tasteful stores ever built – anywhere. Cherry Creek deserves this honor while the mall’s many shoppers will soon be completely in love with the store’s look and concept.
It’s not every day there’s a party in Denver that blows everyone’s minds. The Restoration Hardware opening will go down as one of the most awesome events ever. Guests were treated to live music, endless Bellinis, fresh appetizers of tuna, lobster, prime rib, gourmet chocolates and donut holes filled with ricotta cheese. They were out of this world.
What a party, what a place, what gracious loveliness and class. Congratulations to Restoration Hardware and Cherry Creek Mall. This is a very good friendship indeed.
