Kips Bay Showhouse

As one of the most well known showhouses, Kips Bay was certainly impressive and exciting to experience. It was clear that there was a tremendous amount of talent and several rooms that I absolutely loved  - having said all that, the feeling I left with was unexpected. I thought I would be overcome with excitement about one certain room, paint color or look...however, I walked away and realized that what made the showhouse so beautiful was the shell of the space, bones of the structure.

The 100 plus year old brownstone was full of character and life in its windows, arched doorways, decadent trim, and 6 story winding stairwell. Old homes can be challenging to decorate, but to me, it was what made the space so authentic and charming.
