From the grand, newly-minted displays in Dallas to the gilded, sun-soaked abodes of Palm Beach to the bustling streets of New York City where it all began half a century ago, you never quite know what you’re walking into at a Kips Bay Decorator Show House – only that it will be fabulous.
This year, the philanthropic design endeavor celebrated its 50th anniversary inside a sprawling eight-bedroom townhouse at 20 West 12th Street in Manhattan’s storied, once artist-fueled Greenwich Village. The lineup of 21 illustrious designers – including Corey Damen Jenkins, Alexa Hampton, and long-time Kips Bay legacy Christopher Peacock, returning for his ninth kitchen – did not disappoint.
