Not only will this impact [Read more…] about Kips Bay Show House Dallas 2022
Show houses are the place for participating designers to go big and bold with design, which you don’t ever need to tell a Texas Designer twice. This one, located at 5138 Deloache Avenue, is packed with an entertaining range of Texas-sized personality and styles, offering wonderful exposure to the 24 participating design firms.

It all began with instagram. And then the article where I saw this photo and more. For those of you who do not know her, Kathy Sandler is super talented with the camera AND the written word. One day she started posting photos of one of the greatest kitchens I have ever seen, and I just HAPPENED to be on instagram at the time. And then came her article, revealing more from her tour of the Nashville Symphony Show House. One rarely sees a show house that is so consistent in style throughout. In fact, this is a highly unusual show house. I begged Kathy to share the kitchen with my readers, and I encourage you to continue on to her site to continue the tour of this home, after you visually devour this amuse-bouche of a dream kitchen.

The Hampton Designer Showhouse, now in its fourteenth year, is a showcase for America’s premier design talent. Over 25 top interior designers and decorative artists have turned a magnificent shingle style home into a decorating masterpiece. The Showhouse opened with a Gala Preview Cocktail Party on Saturday, July 19, 2014, and will run until Labor Day, Monday, September 1, 2014 in Bridgehampton, New York.

Spoiler Alert: the house is for sale for a mere $13,495,000. Now I know I have gotten your attention. Let’s go take a peek at some show house highlights- [Read more…] about Hampton Designer Showhouse
