The Kips Bay Decorator Showhouse is back in a townhouse on the Upper East Side this year. I for one, am pleased. I know modern apartment buildings show how people can live in more realistic environs with the ideas the designers dream up, but I love the townhouse format for its old world New York feel. The chosen location, 161 East 64th Street, will be transformed this coming May 7th through June 4th. This year's showhouse chair, Bunny Williams brings her years of expertise and Kips Bay involvement, ensuring it will be another wonderful year. Sponsored by industry leaders, those generously participating are 1st Dibs, Architectural Digest, Benjamin Moore Paints, Hearst Design Group (comprised of Elle Decor, Veranda and House Beautiful) magazines, fabric houses Kravet, Koroseal, Scalamandre, Schumacher and appliance brand, Kitchen Aid. This is the charity's 41st year of the showhouse, a major event that ensures enriching after-school programs for underprivileged children get the necessary funding.
Here is the lineup of participating designers, some, such as Eve Robinson and Gomez and Associates are back in the showhouse fold, and others, like Kristen McGinnis and Robert Brown are making their debuts.

It'll be in the townhouse just east of the one that had been done up by Rennie Reynolds as his fabulous flower shop. I don't know if there is any good interior detailing, but at least there should be some rooms of good proportion.
I love this event and can't wait to support some of my favorite designers! www.stevenwmiller.com
