Kips Bay Decorator Show House 2008

It's almost time for the 2008 version of the Kips Bay Decorator Show and although it's as eagerly awaited as always there is something very different about this year's event: the "Show Houses" aren't houses at all, they're a group of high-rise apartments.

The chosen New York address is The Manhattan House at 200 E 66 St. and the month long show will include 6 units and two floors of the building. The extra publicity works out well for both the property (it's in the middle of being remodeled into luxury condos), the designers (they are only compensated for their efforts with the exposure), and of course the Kips Bay Boys and Girls Club which the whole thing benefits. The show runs from April 24th through May 22nd and tickets cost $30.
