Once a year, Sunset magazine opens its doors and invites tens of thousands of Sunset fans to Celebration Weekend, a two-day tribute to the best home, food, garden, travel and wine trends in the West. Fans have the opportunity to meet the magazine’s editors, celebrity chefs and home and garden experts as well as get a behind-the-scenes look at its historic seven-acre campus located in the heart of Northern California’s Bay Area region.
This year, Sunset asked five talented, young designers to "reimagine the Sunset home" by designing rooms inspired by iconic Sunset interiors, and incorporating both Armstrong Residential Flooring and Armstrong Residential Ceilings for a complete floor-to-ceiling showcase as part of the magazine’s homage to Western-inspired design. Visitors were invited to walk through the living, dining, kitchen, master bedroom and playroom that made up the 4,000-square-foot exhibit space to discover inspiring ideas for today’s homes. Event attendance was 21,000, with more than 8,000 people visiting the exhibit. That's a great percentage for an event that spans seven acres.
