Lin’s Linens is pleased to announce they will be presenting “The Sanctuary” at the 2015 Designer Show House, Blithewald in Rumson, NJ. This is the fifth edition of Stately Homes by-the-Sea and the first time Lin’s Linens will be designing a room in a show house. Lin’s Linens mission is to nurture and support women in treatment for cancer by creating a personal healing sanctuary that promotes a positive mind, body, and spirit connection crucial to the healing process. The Designer Show House benefits the Visiting Nurse Association Health Group. The Show House is a wonderful way to bring together these two organizations with similar missions. Among the region’s most anticipated designer show house events, Stately Homes by-the Sea is scheduled to take place from April 28 – May31, 2015.
More than 40 of the tri-state area’s leading interior designers, decorators and landscape artists will transform the over 10,000 square foot nineteenth century mansion and surrounding acreage. Lin’s Linens will be decorating a hidden gem of a room on the third floor with a beautiful view of the lush grounds. The Sanctuary represents Lin’s Linen’s mission of creating a healing haven for women in cancer treatment. Always mindful of the connection between mind, body and spirit, The Sanctuary is a comfortable yet sophisticated space where a woman can reflect, relax and rejuvenate. Evoking the glamour of the “Great Estates of Rumson”, the space includes a lovely sitting area perfect for accepting visitors, an elegant mirrored writing desk and a cozy window seat resplendent with luxurious pillows, just right for reading a good book. Glass bead wallpaper and polished chandeliers add just the right sparkle. No detail has been overlooked, from the supple carpet underfoot to the therapeutic scent of lavender in the air… The Sanctuary is a ‘must see’ on your tour.
“We rely heavily on donations of goods and services to create these healing havens and we are very excited about the exposure The Sanctuary will bring to our cause”, says Liz Balogh, founder of Lin’s Linens. Over 10,000 people visited the last Designer Show house more than 40,000 since Stately Homes tours began in 2007.

Ken became owner of Narcissus Florals in 2005, taking over the family business after graduating from Fairleigh Dickinson University in the same year.
Ken became involved with Lin’s Linens after working with Liz Balogh, director and president of Lin’s Linens, who was a customer of Narcissus Florals in her other design capacities. They clicked right away and as Narcissus is passionate about many charitable causes, they were open to opportunities to become involved with organizations whose missions the company can support.
Ken says that “bringing beauty and comfort to those who are experiencing tremendously challenging life moments is a mission that I feel is important for any business in our position to support. We have the creativity, product and means to give back
in this small way. It is truly our pleasure”.
Today he leads a design team at Accents by Narcissus, a wedding and event florist on the Jersey Shore and recipient of the 2010 Brides Choice Award. Notably, Ken and his team at Narcissus have been featured in several industry publications including, Floral Finance, Retail Florist and Flowers and Profits.
Ken continues his work as an artist, business owner and concerned citizen while annually completing many commissioned works. Presently, he also serves as President of the Board of Director of the Garden State Philharmonic, and holds board positions on The Wroxton College Advisory Council of Farleigh Dickinson University, Ocean County College Foundation, The Toms Ricer-Ocean County Chamber of Commerce, and The Jersey Shore Business Network, Inc. Other memberships include: The National Political Science Honor Society, SAF Society of American Florists, Big Brothers Big Sisters of Ocean County Friend of the Board, and Kiwanis Toms River Day Break. He is an Honorary Commander of Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst.
Presently, Ken lives in Toms River with his loving husband Jonathan and ferocious dog Jax. He is enthusiastic about fine art, golf, and spending time with his friends, family and fabulous husband. Together they travel often, live well and laugh as much as possible.
