Loving A Good Show House!

By Bridgetbeari @Bridgetbeari
Welcome to the 42nd Annual Kips Bay decorator Show House in NYC. Special treat to go inside the Villard Mansion at 457 Madison Ave. right next to the Palace Hotel. Originally designed by Stanford White in 1884 in a Neo-Italian Renaissance style

My take aways from this house were the details: 

Let's start with the powder room off the living room by Young HuhI loved her door treatments

The drapery treatments in the main rooms were fabulous. I loved the idea for the sheer roman shade lit from the top between 2 beautifully constructed panels.

Everyone's favorite million dollar decorator Martin Lawrence Bullard in the Foyer - lots of talk about those panels did not line up under the chair rail.
