Deering Estate
What better way to bring to life the past than with contemporary design? The Coral Gable-based Junior League of Miami pulled out all the design stops in their recent display of interior makeovers of the Deering Estate, the former 1920s mansion of industrial titan Charles Deering. The 1,000-woman volunteer organization, itself founded in 1926, raised more than $185,000 from admission fees and donations paid by 2,000-plus visitors to the estate. The money will go toward the Junior League’s mission to empower women and help families at risk. Deering himself lived at the eponymous estate for the last five years of his life, but probably with interiors a little more restrained that what this year’s participants put together.
