Another trip to NYC this week to visit the Kips Bay Show House. This show house is always a treat. It showcases the top designers in NYC and the Northeast.

This year it is a townhouse while last year it was an apartment.

Gomez and Associates - Living Room

The artwork in the hallway was incredible. The designer was Judy King.

The hallway was unusual - drapery pattern with the hide rug pattern - very bold. This was Andrew Suvalsky.

The hide rug

The sitting room off the hallway

More lacquer in the powder room -

Loved the artwork - I think this is the same artist as the teen room in the DC show house.

The dining room was done by one of my favorite designers - Kristen McGinnis
Love the lacquer walls, Maya Romanoff ceiling

The chandelier was super cool ...... Check out the deconstructed buffet, a knock out!



I loved the bar and the small back room too by Dineen Architecture. This halogram artwork was wind. I loved the details on the bar.


Another lacquered ceiling - love that drapery fabric. I ordered a memo as soon as I was back in the office.

Cool sketchy wallpaper

Vintage lights

The James Huniford sunroom - he has a new furniture line coming out. I can't wait to view that collection.



The second floor had this beautiful sitting room - great artwork, suede block walls, vintage light fixture, deep daybed, and pops of orange. Even a curtain detail that I loved.



The 2 outdoor balconies were minimal and clean. Loved the grass wall and the koi pond by WCA Architects.


A complete departure in the house for the Kathryn Ireland bedroom. I love her new ad for Scalamandre - she's a hoot! I thought you needed at least another traditional designer for another room to complement this style but just my option.


A pretty gold and white room on top by Barbara Ostrom


A modern Eve Robinson TV room - lavender lacquer ceiling. Loved the pendants!


And let's not forget the fish room by Jack Levy

Until next year .....
Happy Travels ..........
