The Kips Bay Decorator Show House, now in its 45th year, will take place in a neo Georgian red brick townhouse at 125 East 65th Street on New York City’s Upper East Side this May 2nd. Bunny Williams is the chair and proceeds benefit the Kips Bay Boys and Girls Club and its youth programs. Kicking off the festivities, the President's Dinner Monday night raised over $1 million to support the worthy cause. All eyes are on Kips Bay as the leading show house that sets the bar high. Congratulations to this year's participating designers, listed below, a great mix of contemporary and traditional designers with some returning talent.  I cannot wait to see how this group transform the spaces in this Georgian beauty this year, and will be eagerly awaiting opening day, May 2nd.
