The highly anticipated 5th Annual Kips Bay Decorator Show House Dallas has officially opened its doors to the public at 2999 Turtle Creek Boulevard! The property is a grand 25,000-square-foot French Renaissance-style mansion nestled within a two-acre estate in the esteemed Turtle Creek neighborhood.

Twenty-five talented designers and architects nationwide were enlisted to transform the extraordinary property — which had been remodeled as an office building — into a masterpiece of design, offering visitors an opportunity to explore the latest trends and cutting-edge concepts on display until its close on November 13th. (Click here to read more about the history of the property and how it was selected.)

 Her Retreat

“Her Retreat,” designed by CeCe Barfield Inc., offers a contemporary reimagining of the classic lady’s dressing room. A sanctuary of introspection and serenity, the room draws inspiration from the elegant, layered sitting rooms that adorned Lee Radziwill’s London home, crafted by the legendary Renzo Mongiardino in the mid-20th century. Barfield collaborated with deGournay to create bespoke wallpaper, its delicate floral patterns and geometric lines evoking the intricate splendor of Rajasthani palace décor. The tranquil yet verdant color palette seamlessly unites the room with the adjoining terrace. A curated collection of fine antiques and artwork—ranging from 18th-century French and English pieces to mid-century Scandinavian designs—reflects the taste and curiosity of a worldly, self-assured woman. The space exudes a harmonious balance of order, beauty, and timeless elegance. Luxe, calme, et volupté.

La Chambre d’Enfants

“La Chambre d’Enfants” by Katie Davis is a room destined for the youngest sophisticate and the sweetest dreams. The whimsical garden-inspired space begins as you pull back the powder-blue patterned curtains by Sanderson and step into the tented world of Katie Davis Design, awash in speckled prints and botanical motifs. The cozy, period charm of Katie’s modern English Country aesthetic is ever-present. Swaths of pattern, though playful by nature, feel mature with Iksel’s sophisticated ivory floral striped wallpaper—inspired by the borders of 17th-century Mogul miniatures—classic ticking stripes, and checked patterns all set in a muted palette. The green checkered Schumacher canopy overhead is hemmed in by a cheerful scalloped valance, trimmed in blue. A pair of vintage Colonial-style Moosehead twin beds anchor the room, mingling with modern-day furnishings like Oomph’s high-gloss console and skirted benches by Lee Jofa; the bedding layers hand-drawn floral prints from Soane Britain and antique-inspired sprigged stripes by Robert Kime—a mix of old and new for which Katie is known. A contemporary kilim rug by English Village Lane in Katie’s signature blue stretches across the floor; while a lantern by Colleen & Company introduces a bold tomato tone and shines light on the details of this room.

 The Citrus Garden

Welcome to The Citrus Garden! Join Courtnay Tartt Elias and Creative Tonic Design in the HEART of the Kips Bay Dallas Decorator Show House Dallas’ kitchen-a vibrant sanctuary where memories are made, meals are shared, and the joys of a new chapter in life are savored. Here, the lady of the house finds herself in a season of renewal. With her three children grown and flown, this once bustling heart of the home has been transformed into The Citrus Garden, where cooking for two, entertaining lifelong friends, and relaxing take center stage. This kitchen reflects her most treasured memories of traveling through verdant gardens in Italy and sojourns to Provence, where the sweet search for tarte citrons is always on the itinerary.

Enveloped by Nicolette Mayer’s (through Scalamandre) impressionistic Peony Inspira metallic grasscloth wallpaper, she can almost hear birds singing. Fanciful brass lemon trees, hand-forged by Peck & Co., climb up from the island’s latticed base, inviting her and beloved dinner companions to kick off their shoes and dance through dinner preparations … or maybe just artfully plate their take-out! Overhead and showcased across the island, a whimsical cast of plaster flora, fauna, and garden creatures, brought to life by Segreto Finishes, seem to smile as she pauses to fill her glass at the limoncello-spritzer refrigerator. Adding an artful note, the millwork is bejeweled in Modern Matter Hardware.

Recreating meals from travels abroad feels effortless as JennAir’s paneled appliances and beautiful range hum beneath expanses of deep green marble from Taxila and installed by Il Granito. Kohler’s Aspen-green sink, beautiful bridge faucet, and deck-mounted brass pot filler make prepping, preparing, and cleaning up Bolognese a breeze. Gracing the marble archway in the dining alcove, Colefax and Fowler’s trumpet vine fabric with Manuel Canovas variegated fringe-trim artfully sewn on Wells Textile’s Rose Cumming yellow silk, is beautifully custom-made into sweeping drapery by The Shade Store. Inside, the vintage Show Pony lemon tole-chandelier delicately hangs above a bespoke plaster floral table, crafted by Segreto Finishes, and a sculptural banquette, 1st Dibs garden chairs and two pagoda side tables  wrapped in Sanderson fabrics all custom-built by House and Town. The table is set with deGournay porcelain and bespoke embroidered linens by Mary Mack. The beautiful art photography from Koslov Larsen is by artist JP Terlizzi and the fun ceramic telephone is by Brock deBoer and all the rugs are by Arsin Rugs. Above the banquette hang whimsical vases by artist Liz Marsh and a murano glass mirror from Janet Weibe. The Citrus Garden is filled with dancing music every day courtesy of Christopher William Lifestyle Technology.

In this place, love blooms in cooking and stolen kisses, the air is alive with joy, and no matter how far her birds may soar, they will always find a seat at the table. Ever in color, ever in art, The Citrus Garden is where dancing, dreaming, reminiscing, pouring, and, of course, celebrating are always on the menu!

Venus Drawing Room

Kate Figler’s drawing room is a whimsical oasis of European feminine elegance, evoking a dreamy villa-like charm with ethereal hues and graceful accents. Blending traditional design with contemporary elements, the room exudes a timeless allure with soft, curved lines. Inspired by Botticelli’s “The Birth of Venus,” the room radiates sophistication with Gracie’s Linda’s Garden mural wallpaper depicting a lush garden scene in soothing greens, pinks and blues, reminiscent of ancient Roman frescoes.

Nature’s gentle influence can be seen throughout, with delicate oceanic accents such as a seafloor-inspired sofa fabric and a scalloped banquette that mirrors the undulating waves of the sea. Highlighted by STRIKE’S fluted limestone fireplace and Arteriors’ Encinitas chandelier, the room is adorned with delicate, feminine touches such as the hand-painted valance in Perennial’s Sheen Queen fabric, upholstery embellished with tassel fringe, a lacquered “shell” pink ceiling and an abundance of florals. A modern bar cabinet complete with Artistic Tile’s Vivaldi Quartzite blends hues of green, mauve and ivory creating a refreshing juxtaposition.

Kate envisions this space as a sanctuary for women to gather, connecting over cocktails and conversation in a setting that emanates beauty and warmth.

The Whimsical Drawing Room

The Whimsical Drawing Room, designed by Heather and Matt French, co-principals of the Santa Fe-based French and French Interiors, offers a vibrant reinterpretation of a traditional drawing room, blending American heritage with contemporary design. At its heart is a custom hand-painted mural by Gracie Studio, depicting an early American landscape in a soft yet vivid palette of blues, greens, and earth tones, set against an antiqued background. Millwork and trim in Benjamin Moore’s “Coats of Arms,” a smoky teal, create a bold contrast and add depth to the space.

Sanderson’s Regency Aperigon fabric in Porcelain/Chamomile—a collaboration with London-based couture designer Giles Deacon—tents the ceiling with a classic stripe in a satin sheen, subtly infused with Ancient Greek geometric influences. This fabric also upholsters the sofa from Coley Home, creating a seamless blend of old and new. Complementary fabrics adorn the banquettes and accent chairs, with slate blue mohair on the chairs and a white linen blend with bay blue welts on the banquettes. A mix-and-match arrangement of mohair-upholstered dining chairs adds a touch of playful elegance to the dining table.

Case goods and table furniture from Arteriors bring a blend of traditional craftsmanship and modern design, while abstract art from Co.Collect by artist Sherron Francis introduces a contemporary edge, creating a dynamic contrast with the traditional mural. The Whimsical Drawing Room is a celebration of design, where tradition meets modernity in a space that is both inviting and exuberant, ideal for lively gatherings.

English Garden

Drawing on the noteworthy beauty, unmistakable charm, magical intrigue, and simultaneous sense of place and escape, Lisa Henderson Interiors examines the secret sanctuary of an English garden—a place sought-after and beloved by people around the world that transcends time. Taking on Britain’s renowned heritage and mastery of quintessential, spell-bounding grounds, Lisa’s interpretation perfectly captures the essence of the English garden with her blend of pretty patterns, variety of hand-crafted textures, and happy, colorful hues within a space that’s designed supremely for both comfort and beautiful livability. The overall atmosphere heightens the senses and fuels the imagination while simultaneously providing an almost familiar-like place to exhale—all sensibilities found within the juxtaposition of the English countryside. The real English rose in the room is the floral pattern selected for the drapes, which were custom-made by The Shade Store, and wallcovering sourced from Lisa’s own textile collection, also aptly named The English Garden.

The English Garden bedroom is the perfect place to slow down, rest, and enjoy vignettes of favorite—and personal—pieces and places, including Carly Beck’s pet portrait of two treasured pups, original daffodil artwork by Donald Roberson (a nod to Wordsworth’s “I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud”), and Natalie Obradovich’s mesmerizing Italian seascape, as well as a host of tabletop and bar accessories—perfect for unwinding in the inviting seating area after a day spent outdoors. Guests feel a sense of wonder in the nature-inspired interiors that harken to the outside world while embracing the respite found within. Lisa Henderson Interiors expertly enhances each client’s daily routine with a beautiful place to call home. Lisa’s classically comfortable interiors are known across the country for their sophisticated blend of livability and timelessness.

The Timeless Dining Room

We set out to design a dining room that could be used for a host of gatherings. We gained inspiration from a 1948 photo for the cover of Vogue magazine by Cecil Beaton. The photo shows impeccably dressed women gathered in a perfectly gorgeous space outfitted with ornate plaster moldings. The photo evokes the anticipation of a glamorous night ahead. Our goal was to create a similarly beautiful space for today’s generation of women preparing for a fabulous evening in 2024.

We were faced with a long, narrow room that had no direct natural light filtering through. We also noted a center walkway that provides a thoroughfare from the Rotunda to the Salon. We saw an opportunity to create a space for cocktails and an easy flow into an expandable dining room area. Gracie wallcovering is the heart of this space. The metallic custom blue background highlights florals and branches to give the feeling of being outdoors. Beautifully draped entry points create the illusion of windows thanks to The Shade Store. Ornate ceiling details and millwork are highlighted by Gossamer Blue by Benjamin Moore paint. Casci Ornamental added even more details with their plaster mirror surround like those found throughout France. Kravet and Sanderson provided luxurious fabrics to cover our custom banquettes and detailed pillows. We sought to add drama in the Entryway with a textural Arteriors fixture.

Antique chandeliers with Murano style glass were introduced from Legacy Antiques that are a centerpiece for each space. Christopher William Technology provided the lighting control and audio throughout and made the atmosphere complete. Unique customized furniture from Hickory Chair allowed us to bring even more character to the space. The dining chairs showcase metallic details which stand out against the high gloss dining table painted in Antique Rose by Benjamin Moore. A delicious rufous tone armless sofa with detailed box pleats from Hickory Chair completes the cocktail area. Bolster pillows were added to the armless sofa in a colorful striped Jagtar fabric. Elegant drink tables from Arteriors grounded the space and paired nicely with the sofa and banquettes. Beautiful columns from Wolf Hall Antiques were introduced to display elegant florals. All these pieces are sitting atop exquisitely crafted rugs from The Rug Company.

Designers could not create such gorgeous spaces without the help of generous sponsors and the support of the amazing Kips Bay Show House leadership team. All this helps to keep Kips Bay Show Houses the best in the country, raising money for Kips Bay and their world class programs.

Le Salon du Champagne

An ode to traditional French design with nods to Asian influences, “Le Salon du Champagne” is ready to greet you at the 2024 Dallas Kips Bay Show House. The living room seamlessly blends luxe elegance with a warm welcome, transporting you right into a Champagne Salon in France.

Enjoy a coupe of champagne amongst the beautiful metallic wallcovering, “Poppies” by Gracie Studio. Fabrics from Kravet’s new collection in collaboration with Joseph Altuzarra adorn the window treatments, which were custom-made by The Shade Store, and the 19th century French armchairs, a skirted ottoman, and pillows. An antique, palace size, Turkish rug lays atop the beautiful walnut parquet floor.

In “Le Salon du Champagne,” a lady may find herself lounging on the asymmetrical chaise upholstered in Fortuny, gossiping with friends on the banquette upholstered in Cowtan & Tout, perching on the twin Kravet mohair sofas with Samuel & Sons custom trim, or engaging in a game of mahjong with chairs upholstered in Zoffany. The custom pagoda fireplace mantel by Casci Ornamental Plaster, fire screen designed by Trish’s son, and antique pagoda mirror emphasizes the Asian elements of the Gracie wallcovering. Commissioned pieces of art by John Holt Smith, Carlyn Ray, and Larry Whiteley add a contemporary flair, and Christopher William Lifestyle Technology is providing Lighting Control, Tape Lighting and Audio to complete the atmosphere. When ready to top off your coupe, pop over to the built-in bar where the barware is shimmering, and the champagne is always stocked. “Le Salon du Champagne” is a stylish sanctuary that invites women to unwind, socialize, and enjoy leisure time in a beautifully curated environment.

Although Trish has been involved since the inaugural Dallas Show House in 2020, this is the first time she has worn two hats: both as a room designer and a vice chair. Five years ago, Trish designed the “Son’s Bedroom” in the Preston Hollow Show House. This year, Trish is thrilled to harness a completely different facet of her talents, while maintaining her integral sophistication and elegance.

 The Cipango Room

After visiting the proposed property for Kips Bay, I was on a plane going to Los Angeles. We had not planned to participate this year other than on the committee and the President’s Dinner Committee. For some inexplicable reason, I started having a vision of a cozy lounge that would be a club within a club. The walls would be a burnished gold painted wallpaper (I thought immediately of de Gournay because I had discussed doing a room with them in Palm Beach earlier) with drapery and ceiling to match. Because of all the beautiful moldings and trim by Casci Plaster in the room we knew Louis Gloria Painting would do a great job matching the background of the paper using Benjamin Moore paint. The lovely windows I could imagine with gorgeous silk drapery fabricated by The Shade Store.

I could envision back to back traditional sofas in the middle of the room with a console in between and a pair of low wattage lamps to create the mood. There would need to be chairs but I wanted them to be more modern, upholstered in different styles and colors of fabulous Fortuny fabrics furnished to us by the David Sutherland Showroom. And, then—a pair of mirrors on opposite walls hung in the European style in a wonderful burnished gold leaf.

Of course, there had to be a bar in the room and I happened to have a fabulous Italian one that always reminds me of Harry’s Bar in Venice—it even has sketches of Venice on each front panel.

Kravet, who is my partner and represents so many designs of mine, was generous to provide the gorgeous velvets for the sofa and other chairs in the room. We were off to the races! I never looked back and knew we had to do this room. I named it after the old Cipango Club where Jim and I used to go in the ‘80’s—The Cipango Room—a club within a club. The Golden Hour.
