3 Reasons to Check Out The 2013 Kips Bay Decorator Show House This Weekend

This is the last weekend to check out the 2013 Kips Bay Decorator Show House, and if you haven’t been yet, we recommend stopping by while you still can. Here are three reasons why we consider it to be a must see.

1. The annual event transforms a Manhattan residence into a display of some of the country’s top residential design talent, and it’s an impressive sight to behold, to say the least. This year’s show house designers include Kathryn Ireland, Huniford Design Studio, Stephen Mooney, Kristen McGinnis and more.

2. The show house, which began in 1976, serves as the major fundraiser for the  Kips Bay Boys and Girls Club. To date, it has raised more than $17 million for the charity, which reaches children and young adults through ten locations in the Bronx.

3. ILevel installed the art in designer Eve Robinson’s room, so it’s a great chance to see some of our work in action. Plus, Robinson’s room is among the most stunning of the home.
