Here’s the story... The lovechild of social responsibility and social butterfly, Kelley Moore is a lifestyle expert with a simple mission: to inspire and empower people. Unlike other experts who focus solely on formulaic designs and solutions, Kelley combines her years of experience helping others as a social worker with her passion for design and entertaining. The results? She connects quickly with people, creating an instant level of trust and the ability to inspire. Kelley’s core ideal is to empower people to use design and entertaining as tools to build stronger relationships and share who they are through the environment they create. Since childhood, Kelley has had a passion for helping people and set her sights on working within social services, studying at Central Washington University. Upon graduation, Kelley spent seven years as a social worker, working particularly on behalf of abused children. Because of and in spite of limited government resources, Kelley discovered the little things that she personally could do outside the scope of her position to enrich the lives of her clients. These moments became precious and would drive her passion to expand her work with others. For years, Kelley planned successful parties for herself and friends and so in 1999, she left social services to found Red Letter Day, a Seattle event planning and design firm. She has produced and designed signature events in locations around the world. Her clients include Microsoft, Getty Images, Lexus, Ronald McDonald Children’s Charities, Hollywood celebrities and a diverse array of private clientele. After establishing herself as the city’s events planner, Kelley Moore began styling and producing distinctly Northwest entertaining stories for Seattle magazine and Northwest Home in 2003. Since then, Kelley has become Seattle’s lifestyle and entertaining expert who regularly appears on KING 5 News and KONG TV, with design, style, and entertainment tips. Her television show, “Moore to Life,” debuted in 2009 on Seattle’s NBC affiliate, KING 5 TV. In the fall of 2009, Kelley cast a spell on HGTV’s “Halloween Block Party.” Elsewhere on television, Kelley has appeared as an entertaining and lifestyle expert on Ellen, The Today Show, The View, Rachael Ray, and Tyra Banks. She has also appeared as a co-host and design expert on pilots for HGTV, The Style Network and A&E.

In the publishing world, Kelley’s recent book, “Cube Chic: Take Your Office Space from Drab to Fab,” illustrates how to create fun environments out of dreary office spaces. She is currently working on her second book titled “Design from the Inside Out.” Online, Kelley’s “Welcome Home with Kelley Moore” is a daily column featured on the Lifestyle homepage of MSN.com. She is also a contributing blogger for Rachael Ray and has her own daily blog “For the Love of Design” featuring posts covering a variety of design and entertaining topics. In June of 2010, Kelley launched her newest endeavor, a web series titled “So Much Moore” covering a variety of topics from entertaining to design and showing viewers how to get more from their daily lives. Kelley’s creative passion, combined with her gregarious personality, wins her clients and fans on a growing national basis.

of the potluck concept. When I invite friends into my home, I want to serve them and make them feel pampered—not ask them to do work by bringing a dish. But in this economy, the need to support each other has increased as entertaining budgets have decreased, so I decided to rethink the potluck, giving it an inexpensive yet stylish makeover by inviting my friends over for a community dinner inspired by their family heritage. Hoping to deepen friendships while also tapping into the emotional connection that my guests have with family recipes, I asked each guest to bring a treasured family dish as well as photos and stories about their relatives to share. The result inspires great conversation and makes for a creative, fun, affordable evening.

Getting to dress up and hear haunted stories always thrilled me, and I still enjoy the holiday as an adult. I throw an annual Halloween bash, and this year I was really excited to forgo the traditional pumpkins and everything orange, and find other spooky ideas for decoration and entertainment. I turned my living room into a haunted old library, complete with cobwebs, a turn-ofthe-century-style portrait over my fireplace and dusty old books, and my dining area into a mad scientist’s lab, where I set up a cocktail bar with all the mixings. My friends, artist Mary Veronica Sweeney, Pam Hodnefield of PH Design Group, and Aren Der Hacopian and Michael Moore, both of the Seattle Opera, joined me for an evening of grown-up Halloween fun.

While exchanging ideas for living a more sustainable lifestyle, we also swapped earth-friendly tips, potted plants to give friends as green gifts and traded thoughts on how to spread environmental awareness. if you fancy yourself an aspiring environmentalist, here are a few tips for throwing an eco-awareness party of your own.

Left: A room with plenty of plants makes the perfect backdrop for your party. Using a recycled glass screen from Bedrock Industries (this one, $900), I tailored the composition of the room, allowing soft, colorful light to penetrate and highlight the dining area. Encourage your guests to mingle by breaking up seating with small side tables. With more than one place to congregate, guests will enjoy more in-depth conversation. For this side-set lunch table, I used a reclaimed-wood end table (called Amelia) from One Earth One Design ($770). Recycled-tire stools from Area 51 ($325 each) create unfussy seating. Below: Hemp napkins from Goods For The Planet ($13 per set of two) and chalkboard napkin rings from Greener Lifestyles ($58 per set of four) make simple but elegant additions to the place settings. Writing green tips on the napkin rings with a chalk pencil is a great way to educate guests, and a simple wipe-down leaves them a blank slate ready for reuse on any occasion.

Going green doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t mean giving up style. Here, I set the table with recycled and organic products that look designer-chic. The table from Urchin ($2,600 including benches) is made from reclaimed wood and topped with easy-to-create chargers of recycled glass tile from Bedrock Industries ($25.60 each), which provide intricate detailing beneath each bamboo steamer. Strolling through a local antique store, I found the vintage flatware, which I buffed and polished to restore shine, then placed in glassware made from recycled bottles from Bedrock Industries ($5 each). The hand-blown red La Mediterranea stemware, made from 100 percent recycled glass, from Greener Lifestyles ($36 each) added a touch of elegance to the tabletop. Grouping assorted terrariums (these are from The Palm Room, prices vary) on wooden boxes by Roost, which are available at Area 51 (prices vary), creates an interesting centerpiece layered at various heights so as not to interrupt the eye line during conversation.

Above: Bamboo steamer baskets from Uwajimaya ($14 each) replace plates—and become reusable giveaways for guests. Inside are Maria Hines’ organic goodies: a Loki (smoked sockeye salmon) sandwich with niçoise olive aioli, house-made mustard, red onions, ovendried tomato and arugula on whole-grain bread. Accompaniments of 100-percent organic chevre, sea salt crackers, sliced Gala apples from Tini’s Organics, and a salad made with high-protein red quinoa grain, parsley, lemon vinaigrette and preserved lemon complete the delicious meal.

Though e-mailing invitations saves paper, it can feel so impersonal. Instead, send guests a Grow-a-note Card from Goods For The Planet ($3.50 each). Made with recycled paper and renewable leaf fiber with seeds imbedded into each sheet, when planted, the cards grow wildflowers. A pebble mat from Bedrock Industries ($14.99 per foot), made of sheeted polished pebbles fused to mesh netting, makes a perfect placemat for potted plants.

What size is your ecological footprint? interested in what kind of impact you’re having on the earth? find out how much of our planet’s resources your lifestyle is draining by checking out your ecological footprint (also referred to as a “carbon footprint”) at Redefining Progress (rprogress.org), a public policy research organization. ¶ The 15-question quiz, which is used to determine your personal footprint, asks questions about your habits and lifestyle in the categories of food, goods, shelter and mobility, and then measures the productive resources you use and the waste you create against the amount of area on the earth needed to sustain that footprint. The average American, according to Redefining Progress, needs 24 acres to sustain their footprint. ¶ Start reducing your footprint by eating local, carpooling (or better yet, take the bus) and installing fluorescent bulbs and other energy efficient systems in your home.

Left: Always send your guests home with a parting gift; for this occasion I loved “50 Ways to Live Green” from noteable You ($32 each). These reusable glass jars are filled with manageable tips on how to live a more environmentally friendly life. Set on a table by the door, a few of the tips are showcased with a charming Fittonia plant from The Palm Room and an oil luminary from Greener Lifestyles ($48) that projects a cozy image of a tree on the wall when the flame is lit. Above: Instead of traditional seedlings, we potted indoor plants to give as Earth Day gifts to friends and neighbors. Sean and Rebecca work with two highly oxygenating plants, Polly (Alocacia) and Bird nest Fern (Asplenium). They’re planted in biodegradable Eco-Forms Grower Pots made of renewable grain husks, available at The Palm Room (prices vary).

The Chippendale bar ($95, Antika Antiques, 206.789.6393; antikaantiques. com) before its recreation.
A bold coating of Benjamin Moore Electric Orange paint ensures that this cabinet stands out.
Consider adding other space-smart elements around your cabinet. Here, an old chair is made newly hip with fresh paint and mod fabric, a rubber tray layered in frost-white tumbled recycled glass from Bedrock Industries (206.283.7625; bedrockindustries. com) serves as a shoe caddy and a peacock vase by SHINE from City Home Store (206.324.4663; city-home-store.com) makes a dandy umbrella stand.
The barâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s existing racks now hold magazines. A mini magnetic strip adds a pop of color and houses magnetic hooks on which to handily hang keys.
A white container becomes a mod handbag holder, while green valet trays are a great store-it spot for stamps, pens and an IPOD shuffle.

staying organized in a small space can be challenging. Without a place to drop your keys, purse or mail, clutter will come calling. Dispense with disarray by putting everyday essentials out of sight.

Island to cook in their beautiful waterfront kitchen, he put together a menu that would go over with this crowd. He believes that kids’ food can be healthy, delicious and sophisticated, too, and that they will eat a lot of different foods if exposed to them in various forms. For instance, at the moment, staples is teaching Zoë to fry, scramble and poach eggs. “I’m learning to cook eggs all different ways!” Zoë says. He hopes the lessons will give her the confidence to explore a range of foods she might not try otherwise. staples is just following the example set by his mother: “When I was a kid, my mother taught my brothers and I about three to five things we could make or do in the kitchen—do the dishes, make a certain dish, set the table. by the time we were 10, we were cooking dinner and cleaning up most nights of the week.” to this, staples adds his own advice. “enjoy the mess! It’s gonna be messy, so just go with the flow!” Our party’s simple menu included kid favorites with a healthy, sophisticated twist.

crunch—and tiny meatball sliders that are bite-size even for small mouths; these savory treats would be a great pass-around appetizer at your next grown-up party. Next, the kids got their hands dirty with potato gnocchi—think of it as upscale mac and cheese—which staples serves with a yummy parmigiana cream sauce with crispy sage leaves sizzled in brown butter and parmigiana crisps on the side. As the kids dove into their projects, I asked Zoë about her cooking skills. “I’ve been cooking since I was 2,” she said with the confidence of someone who has a chef for a father. she already shows an adroit hand in the kitchen, stirring a bowl of chocolate sauce for the dessert like a pro. staples suggests letting kids do age-appropriate activities like mixing, tossing salads and all the girls’ favorite activity at this party: drizzling chocolate over the crispy tuile—a thin pastry cookie draped over a cup while still warm to form and harden into a cup shape. served with vanilla ice cream and succulent fresh blueberries, it’s a sort of wacky, deconstructed ice cream cone that the girls loved. With a little grown-up ingenuity and childlike creativity, you can help your kids eat healthy, avoid the junk-food dinner trap and engage with you in the kitchen with fun, age-appropriate activities. Who knows? they may be cooking dinner for you soon. S >> For more information, see Find It on page 72. KeLLey L.

NOVEMBER IS THE MONTH OF GRATITUDE—a welcome chance to pause and count
our blessings before the hectic festivities of the holiday season begin. But, while most of us traditionally make time to celebrate with family, the people who sometimes truly keep us sane—our friends—tend to fall by the wayside. ✻ This season, add a new postmodern tradition to your Thanksgiving celebrations with an intimate dinner party for your friends. Like your best single girlfriend, the event should be warm, welcoming and more than a little stylish. Forgo traditional table linen for a swath of striking faux fur and create visual depth by grouping glowing glass candleholders with tableware in rich bronze hues. Inject holiday sparkle and humor with found materials (a branch, a pomegranate, even a corn husk) coated in 24-karat luxe gold paint and jaunty fur wine-glass collars, created with fabric scraps and double-stick tape. Place framed photos of your friends—the evening’s true centerpiece—interspersed with favorite quotes or poems, around the table. In lieu of place cards, lure your friends to their seats with wish boxes—elegant favors holding a string of personally selected charms and handwritten notes detailing your hopes for each guest in the year ahead. ✻ The menu, too, should be a bit unconventional. Consider a traditional fall feast with a Mediterranean twist (for some tasty recipes, such as a Winter Squash and Pequillo Pepper Soup with

Tell a funny, or sentimental, story about each guest, explaining what her friendship means to you (just beware of tears). A moment of sincere appreciation will be the perfect kickoff for a fete that promises to be every bit as fabulous as your friends. ✚

LIFE OF THE PARTY
airing on TiVo, on-demand TV broadcasts, and Lexus.com). Her first book, Cube Chic (from Quirk Books), has just been published, featuring wildly stylized decorating ideas to breathe new life into office cubicles: an Astroturfed golf cubicle (with a deskside bunker to hold pens); a penguin-themed “ice cube”; even a Picasso-inspired Cubism cube. It’s Martha Stewart meets Dilbert. Moore has made a name for herself by designing get-togethers that are both elaborately layered and intimate, with plenty of personalized touches, no matter the size. That may translate into live music and big screens with moving visuals at a business gathering, or new-wave s’mores adorned with grilled peach slices and Caramellos at a seaside bonfire party. “I want a corporate event to feel like I’ve invited them into my home,” she says. “I want to layer with texture and visual art, so people enter the room and have different places to explore and something to take away. So they can say, ‘Wow, I remember that; that had an impact on me.’ I want them to be able to make little discoveries along the way, to kind of open the event up like a gift. I don’t want to walk into a sea of 150 round tables.” —Mike Grudowski

When Kelley L. Moore was a social worker in Seattle with the state Child Protective Services agency, volunteering to help orchestrate nonprofit events on the side, an acquaintance made a remark to her that changed her life. “Somebody came along and said, ‘You’re really good at this organization and design. Have you thought about doing it for a living?’” Moore recalls. “And I said, ‘They pay people to plan parties? Where do I sign up?’” Thus began a burgeoning career as an event planner and dreams of a multimedia entertaining and lifestyle enterprise, which is already expanding in umpteen different directions. The 37-year-old has designed and produced events for Microsoft and Ronald McDonald House, and is putting together a series of events straddling 11 cities in six countries for Getty Images. Moore has pulled off multimillion-dollar weddings, one time having linens flown in from Latvia to meet a client’s request. She appears in a weekly Friday-morning segment on entertaining on Seattle’s KONG-TV, writes for Northwest Home + Garden and Seattle magazine, and is featured in a Lexus-sponsored video travelogue driving the new RX hybrid around Washington’s Cascade Loop (currently

Cube—with step-by-step decorating directions for each. Moore recently stopped by our offices, was appalled by our naked cubicles and promptly whipped up this timely cube (baseball season starts this month) for senior associate editor Monica Fischer. Although not featured in the book, the Mariners cube contains the Marthalike ingenuity and attention to detail found throughout Cube Chic. So bust out the glue gun and give your wannabe-office the extreme makeover it deserves. Just check with the boss first. Chris Clayton
