Meet the Designers for the Kips Bay Decorator Show House Palm Beach 2019

The second annual Kips Bay Decorator Show House Palm Beach will be opening to the public from January 26, 2019 through February 20. A dazzling display of design possibilities, the event will also be giving back to a great cause. The beautiful project will benefit the Boys & Girls Clubs of Palm Beach County, along with the Kips Bay Boys & Girls Club in Bronx, New York that started it all.

The 21 designers for the 2019 show house have already begun work on remodeling The Fountain House, a Mediterranean-style home along the Intracoastal Waterway. We can look forward to seeing a variety of different styles and diverse talents on display in each room of the property. As part of this year’s designer line-up, designers from all around the United States are representing their regions.
