I love a lot of things and one of them is a good Show House. In my opinion the Kips Bay Show House is the "Godfather" of Show Houses. I go to see what those clever New York designers are doing and if I take away a few ideas; all the better! I thought this year's house showed a lot of interesting, quiet subtlety.
Eve Robinson's kitchen wowed me. I loved the unexpected color and wallpaper. The lighting was spectacular but she "had me" at the ceiling. The kitchen makes a great design lab!
Hallways and niches are great, unexpected places to explore.
Vincent Wolf did a great job at defining the different seating areas (above) as did Sherrill Canet (below). She also did something I liked that is very easy to try at home. The walls are painted all one color, in this case blue, but any color works, then a clear gloss was used to create a striped looked. Simple and effective.
