A few of us Independent staffers got the privilege to attend the Real Life 101 presentation of “The Little Black Dress” of Interior Design on August 11th at the Unity Temple on the Plaza. The featured speaker was Jen Bertrand, HGTV Design Star winner! We really enjoyed hearing Jen’s home design “wardrobe” tips on how to make any home more fun and stylish, all while being money conscious. Jen entertained guests with a picture filled PowerPoint presentation of her past interior design projects. Also, her quick wit kept us laughing the entire night! Proceeds from the event benefited the Winston’s Village Foundation, which supports the medical care of Jen’s son, Winston, who suffers from two rare complex malformations that require frequent surgical treatment.
