Mansion in May is a charity whose proceeds go to
support the Morristown Medical Center. Held every two
years, Mansion in May gains access to an estate, most
recently in 2014 the historic Blairsden estate, where
they invite designers to compete to design the estate's
rooms. Designers create a full proposal for a room, which
a committee reviews and votes on. Once designers are
chosen, they transform their room based on the proposal
at their own expense. The charity raises money by selling
tickets for people to view the home and the renovations
that took place. At Blairsden, a record 33,000 people
attended Mansion in May, raising $2 million for the
expansion of the Joan and Edward Foley Pediatric ICU
as well as a new Autism Center. We were able to speak
to two interior designers that participated in Mansion in
May to learn more about their business and their designs.
