Mark your calendar for the upcoming Wine & Design Mixer, hosted by local Realtor Craig Michaels with Better Homes and Gardens Desert Lifestyle Properties, on Thursday, November 14th, at the Palm Desert Design Center, located at 73-185 A, Hwy 111, Palm Desert. This unique mixer invites homeowners and design enthusiasts to explore exciting ways to transform their spaces while supporting a wonderful cause. This November, all proceeds will benefit Loving All Animals, a local nonprofit dedicated to the welfare and humane treatment of animals across the Coachella Valley.
These intimate soirées combine creativity, community support, and networking. Designed to unlock the full potential of your home, the event provides access to local professionals specializing in property upgrades, repairs, solar energy solutions, pest management, home staging, and financing. Whether you’re seeking inspiration, planning a home update, or just exploring your options, you’ll find abundant resources and insights courtesy of generous event sponsors like Angela Morris Designs, Hot Purple Energy, Western Air Cooling & Heating, JTE Escrow, NEO Home Loans, Better Home and Gardens Real Estate and Pest Protect 360.
As you explore fresh possibilities, take in the stunning artwork on display by the talented local artist Dr. Iva. By day, Dr. Iva is a dentist, surgeon, and doctor, yet her true passion shines through her art. Her latest acrylic and epoxy pieces introduce multidimensional effects that add a unique touch to any space. Attendees can admire her artwork and may even consider purchasing a piece for their home or office.
The evening includes complimentary wine from Masvino Wines, owned by German Samayoa, who is also the owner of La Fe Wine Bar on El Paseo. Enjoy the curated selection of wine and champagne along with a delicious assortment of appetizers. Guests are encouraged to bring business cards to enter the raffle and win exciting prizes. If you’d like to highlight your own local business, consider donating a prize to receive a mention during the event.
Best of all, 100% of your $15 donation at the door will directly support Loving All Animals, a 501(c)3 organization committed to humane programs aimed at reducing the euthanasia of adoptable and treatable pets. Through accessible spay and neuter services, adoption programs, and efforts to reunite lost pets with their owners, Loving All Animals makes a meaningful difference in our community.
With a warm and welcoming atmosphere, these mixers are a fun way to stay up to date on the latest design trends while supporting the local community. Whether you’re a homeowner, a design enthusiast, or simply passionate about giving back, this event promises a memorable evening of art, design, and connection.
