Mark your calendar! Last year’s inaugural Dallas Kips Bay Dallas Decorator Show House was such a success, it will be returning this fall! Located (again) in historic Old Preston Hollow, this year’s home is a classic 1999 Georgian that was beautifully renovated in 2008 by the late architect Cole Smith. It features a dramatic foyer, multiple living areas, charming breakfast room, two full kitchens, sunroom, wine cellar, theater, and more. Located on nearly an acre and a half of lush grounds, the estate also includes a pool, expansive outdoor terraces, and playhouse.
Today we will take a “before” tour with images from a recent real estate listing, but first, here are the details!
Bunny Williams and Jamie Drake are serving as Honorary Chairs, with Veranda’s Steele Marcoux and designers Jan Showers, Jean Liu, and Chad Dorsey as Co-Chairs. Trish Sheats and Laura Lee Clark Falconer are Vice Chairs. The 25 participating architects and designers include rising stars and veteran design talent from across the country…

NOW LET’S TAKE A LOOK AT THE BEFORE PICTURES OF THIS BEAUTIFUL HOME!
Located at 5138 Deloache Avenue, this beautifully updated home features 6 bedrooms, 7.5 bathrooms, and 11,185 square feet.
Gorgeous—I would take it ‘as is’!
Beautiful. The updates are tasteful and gorgeous but subtle, not over the top. They chose classics not trendy which is so important.
I’m so excited to see this! Just bought my showhouse ticket am booking air and hotel now. I went last year such a fun trip
Can’t wait to see what these talented designers create this year! Be sure and buy your tickets to tour the Kips Bay Show House.
Beautiful! Any ideas on what that gorgeous paint shade is throughout the house? I live in Texas about 100 miles and $10,000,000. away from this wonderful house. The light here makes paint shades that were lovely when I lived in the northeast look completely wrong here. Thank-you!
It;’s beautiful! I hope they don’t do tooooo much to it cuz it’s perfect as is.
Looks a bit out dated. I know the look they were aiming for but it’s definitely not in style or on trend.. I love the designers but would have expected more from the photos I’ve seen online. Could have been so much more if they would have added more art, accessories, flowers and such. Being a designer in Dallas and Austin area and owning my own retail stores this is definitely a disappointment ?
Matt, These are before pictures taken from the real estate listing. The designers are working on their rooms now, which we will be able to see in September.
May have to fly in for this.
What a Fantastic Post!! Love your work.
Don’t touch a thing !!
Maybe a little decorating zhuzh.
Oh-for a few more zeros !!!!
