Showhouses

Not To Be Missed

Designer show houses are places where anyone can visit and be inspired to dream, built, and perhaps dare to even design one’s own home as well. For decades, The Kips Bay Decorators Show house became the staple of American Design, and now there seem to be a risen star among the myriads of decorators show houses across this country. One can easily argue that the New York State Area does boast its fair share of top designers, but does that necessarily mean that the houses that they design are worth a visit? The answer is positive, of course. There is no price on beauty, but when it comes to supporting the fight against breast cancer, the sky is the limit.
