The Kips Bay Showhouse is the pinnacle of all showhouses, year after year. After a looooonnnngggg wait (this year's showhouse was delayed 6 months), it's finally open! All proceeds go to the Boys and Girls Club. If you are in NYC or will be visiting, make sure you drop on by as it closes it's doors after Nov. 11th. What I wouldn't do to go! Here's a few of the highlights:
Aman Carson Interiors (Great design trick: add mirror to the back of a plain shelves to enlarge a space and infuse a little glamour.) |
Etienne Coffinier Designs Master Bath (The bubble installation was based off a Harper's Bazaar photo shoot from the 1960's. Love.) |
Eve Robinson Kitchen (I must research the chandelier. I die over it.) |
Jennifer Post Media Room (Clean, sleek and just about perfection.) |
Vincente Wolf Library |
Vincente Wolf hasn't participated in the showhouse since 1991, so this is quite a treat! On his decision to participate this year he said, "I think our times call for experience. It's a chance for the average person to walk into one of your rooms. It shows what decorators do, instead of the stupid TV shows that say you can do it for $5." Amen, Vincente. Amen.
