biography



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.

Here’s the story...



Kelley has a proven capability to garner and nurture relationships with retailers and advertisers in the television world. She partnered with Ikea to develop the pilot of “Moore to Life” and completed a broadcast project for Lexus promoting the launch of the Lexus Hybrid SUV. She has served as Office Max’s spokesperson for their Back to School campaign, and has worked with Proctor & Gamble, Anheuser-Busch, Simon Malls, Walmart, Kashi, Prevacid 24 Hr, and is currently a spokesperson for bing.com capitalizing on her talents to expand the reach of their brand.

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. She is a dynamic well of talents both on and off-screen, not only concepting, creative directing and writing for books, magazines and television; but also scripting, producing and starring in her own broadcast projects. Utilizing these talents and reaching an ever broadening audience, Kelley Moore is achieving her goal a little bit more each day of empowering people to build stronger relationships and express who they are through design and entertaining.

Kelley Moore. Doing Good : Having Fun.

I A D M I T : I H A V E N E V E R B E E N A F A N 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.

A S A C H I L D , I loved the excitement and mystery of Halloween. 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-of-the-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.

Joining me for lunch, and sparking inspiring conversation, are (left to right) Rebecca Luke, Sean Schmidt, Megan Griffiths and Lynne Barker, all professionally involved in different aspects of environmentalism.

i t c A n b e h A r d to change your daily routine to embrace eco-friendly habits. but in a city where everyone is thinking green, inspiration is right around the corner. in anticipation of earth day, April 22, i gathered cofounders of the Sustainable Style Foundation Sean Schmidt and rebecca luke, city Green building’s sustainable commu-nities planner lynne barker and The Off Hours filmmaker Megan Griffiths to save the planet—over lunch. 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 aspir-ing environmentalist, here are a few tips for throwing an eco-awareness party of your own. (experts not included.)

Going green doesn’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.

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.

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, oven-dried 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.


Deep Impact 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. Alyson Davis

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.

Left and above: Chef Scott Staples and Maya cut out star-shaped dough for the tuile crowns. Pretty but simple to prepare, these crispy tuile crowns are covered with a drizzle of chocolate sauce and hold a scoop of vanilla ice cream and fresh blueberries. Below left: Potato gnocchi with parmesan cream and sage sizzled in brown butter is a sophisticated but still kid-friendly alternative to macaroni and cheese; kids can roll out the balls in their hands, drop them in the pot and watch them float to the top when they are done.

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 din-ner 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. We started out with grissini (kids love to say that!)—little crispy breadsticks that kids love to



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 cook-ing skills. “I’ve been cooking since I was 2,” she said with the con-fidence 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-appropri-ate 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 succu-lent 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.

THANK GOOD FRIENDS WITH

A NEW HOLIDAY TRADITION

BY KELLEY L. MOORE

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

LIFE OF THE PARTYWhen 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 driv-

ing the new RX hybrid around Washington’s Cascade Loop (currently

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

Cube Chic authorKelley L. Moore(pictured) hit ahomerun with

this cool cubicle

IF YOUR CUBICLE IS LIKE MOST, it’s a lifeless, colorless work stallthat contains no soul beyond the family photos on the desk and thecomic strips taped to the computer monitor (oh, Dilbert, what willyou say next?). Thankfully, our resident lifestyle and entertainingguru Kelley L. Moore has created Cube Chic (April 2006, Quirk Books,$15.95)—a fun and funky guide to snazzin’ up your work space. CubeChic features 22 themed designs—from the Tiki Cube, replete withtropical wall paper and hula skirts, to the Astroturf-covered Golf

Cube—with step-by-step decorating directions for each. Moorerecently stopped by our offices, was appalled by our naked cubiclesand promptly whipped up this timely cube (baseball season startsthis month) for senior associate editor Monica Fischer. Althoughnot featured in the book, the Mariners cube contains the Martha-like ingenuity and attention to detail found throughout Cube Chic.So bust out the glue gun and give your wannabe-office the extrememakeover it deserves. Just check with the boss first. Chris Clayton
