If you're anything like us, you're behind on remodeling. It's been awhile. Not so long ago that your appliances are avocado green, but you don't have recycled leather walls (so hot right now) and modern art glass fireplaces that can move from room to room. Now you can see the latest and best in interior design at the 2009 ASID/OCC Design Tour benefiting the Orange County Performing Arts Center. This is the first design tour of its kind, showcasing an urban contemporary setting in OC known as Astoria at Central Park West in Irvine. Thirty-seven of Orange County's hottest designers show off the latest trends, colors, styles, home technology, green living and more.The tour includes four penthouse lofts and two flats. The floor-to-ceiling windows and vast outdoor spaces provide the perfect backdrop for the designers to showcase their talents.On Fridays from 5 to 9 p.m. (through May 17), it's "Meet the Designers Night" where you can meet the designers. Friday night guests can sample wine and dessert at the café and later enjoy a discounted meal at participating restaurants at The District in Tustin, so save your ticket stubs! Tickets cost $30 in advance and $35 at the door. Available online (see above link), through the Orange County Performing Arts Center Box Office (714.556.2787) or at Whole Foods in The District at Tustin Legacy.If you can't make it on a Friday, the tour is open Tuesdays through Sundays from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. (last entry 4 p.m.). 405 Rockefeller Drive, at Central Park West in Irvine.www.asidocc.org
