Local interior designers are challenged to design and furnish a room with Victorian "style" in the beautiful Nelms House in historic downtown Smithfield. Designers will represent local charities. A Designer Showcase Gala Opening will be held on Saturday and Sunday, April 14 and 15. The Showcase Fundraiser will run from April 16 through June 2. The Sneak Peek Open House will offer visitors a chance to meet the selected designers, review their storyboards, selected artwork, design plans and learn about the local charities represented. Visitors can also participate in a silent auction of Victorian Jewelry, glasswate, lamps, local artwork and products to benefit local charities. The Nelms House is also available for event rentals.
