I had the pleasure of attending the press preview for the 38th annual Kips Bay Decorator Show House and I can tell you that it's going to knock your socks off! Located at 106 East 71st Street, the house is smaller than last year but good things come in small packages. I won't dwell on why it was delayed from the spring to this fall (you can read the full story in the New York Times) but I will focus on the great design talent. Some of this year's group said their rooms were inspired by their current clients and others just had fun creating the ultimate interior. All in all, it's a spectacular house for a wonderful cause and I hope everyone will buy a ticket!
Katie Ridder welcomes you into the Kips Bay Decorator Show House this year with her wonderfully wallpapered entry. The paper is part of her collection that can be found at Holland & Sherry. I forgot to ask the color of the paint but it's a very cheerful coral/red that starts the house off on the right foot. The house will be open until November 11, 2010 but for those of you who can't make it, I will posting many of the rooms.
