patio wind down this September, do half-decorated rooms and tired décor make you
dread the long winter indoors? Turn your home into an inviting space with the help

on design, headlines the panel. Her client list includes British royalty and A-list
celebrities like Katie Couric and Liam Neeson. Gilliatt will sign advance copies of
her newest book, "Bedrooms by Mary Gilliatt," scheduled for release in the U.S. in
October.
Other featured designers include Susanne Wiener, past-president of the American
Society of Interior Designers (ASID), and acclaimed windows expert Neil Gordon, who
appeared last year on the cover of Draperies and Window Coverings Magazine. The

room schemes. Representatives of Decor&You will be on hand to answer questions.
