The 2015 Essence of Style Design Symposium at Longue Vue House and Gardens welcomes designer and author Suzanne Rheinstein, whose design philosophy, “fewer things, but better things,” will rule the day.

On November 11, from 10 am to 2:30 pm, Rheinstein will present a lecture entitled "Room for Today: Easy Living with Antiques" followed by lunch at The Audubon Tea Room. Designer Reception is $125.
