Kips Bay 2014 Decorator Show House
Style
The annual Kips Bay Show House has been open for a few weeks, and I finally had a chance to run by. It’s being held in the Villard Mansion on Madison Avenue, and that alone is reason to take a tour and see real architecture, in the classical sense. As you know, these show houses are fantasias. They’re meant to seduce and to sell by exaggeration, and since the designer is footing the bill, they can do whatever they want, without being tied to a capricious client.
