Welcome to TGP Tidbits where we round up the happenings and our musings of the design industry each week. This week we take a look at The Kips Bay Decorator Show House 2026, Summerill & Bishop x Blackberry Farm, and The Glam Pad’s debut on Substack. Written by Natalie Aldridge.

The Kips Bay Decorator Show House 2026

One of the design world’s most anticipated annual traditions has officially revealed its next address. The Kips Bay Decorator Show House will return to Greenwich Village this fall for its 2026 New York edition. The celebrated fundraiser will transform the historic townhouse at 80 W. Washington Place into an extraordinary showcase of design talent when it opens to the public on September 16th.

Built in 1839 by William W. Berwick, the stately Georgian red-brick residence spans nearly 8,700 square feet across six levels and has a fascinating history. Once home to celebrated composer John Philip Sousa, the meticulously restored townhouse will provide this year’s designers with an exceptional architectural canvas. Original period details will be joined by dramatic contemporary amenities, including multiple landscaped terraces, a double-height great room, and a rooftop overlooking Washington Square Park.

Since its founding in 1973, the Kips Bay Decorator Show House has become far more than a showcase of beautiful interiors. The annual fundraiser has launched countless careers, spotlighted many of the industry’s most celebrated talents, and raised more than $33 million in support of the Kips Bay Boys & Girls Club. Each year, the announcement of the house gives the first glimpse of what is sure to become one of the season’s most talked-about design events, and we cannot wait to see how this remarkable Greenwich Village townhouse is transformed. Stay tuned!

Summerill & Bishop x Blackberry Farm

There are few pairings more fitting than Summerill & Bishop and Blackberry Farm, two brands united by a deep appreciation for craftsmanship, hospitality, and the beauty found in everyday. Their new collaboration, a collection of table linens inspired by Blackberry Farm’s gardens, history, and traditions, celebrates the art of gathering around the table, something we so often celebrate at The Glam Pad.

Created after Summerill & Bishop founder Seb Bishop spent time on the Tennessee property with his longtime friend Mary Celeste Beall, the collection tells the story of the farm through two thoughtfully designed patterns. One design pairs delicate lenten roses, among Mary Celeste’s favorite flowers, with pea pods inspired by Andy Saftel’s painting Sam’s Time, a tribute to the late Sam Beall and the couple’s five children. The second pattern is a fresh interpretation of the well-worn denim seen throughout the gardens, particularly John Coykendall’s iconic overalls, softened with graceful hydrangea blooms.

Equal parts rustic and refined, the collection captures an elegance for which both Summerill & Bishop and Blackberry Farm are known. We just adore this collection and hope you do as well! Shop here.

Welcome to TGP Tidbits where we round up the happenings and our musings of the design industry each week. This week we take a look at Summerill & Bishop and Wentworth Celebrate the Art of Gathering, Frederic’s It List, and Hill House Home x Williams Sonoma. Written by Natalie Aldridge.

Summerill & Bishop and Wentworth Celebrate the Art of Gathering

There are few things we love more than a beautifully set table, particularly one set beneath the open sky. That sentiment was on full celebration in Charleston, where luxury British table linen house Summerill & Bishop partnered with local home and lifestyle brand Wentworth for an immersive installation, perfect for summertime.

Developed by Wentworth founder G. Blake Sams and staged throughout a private residence and its surrounding gardens, the experience invited guests to wander between lushly layered tablescapes, floral-filled vignettes, and enchanting outdoor settings, transforming the property into a living expression of Summerill & Bishop’s joyful approach to outdoor entertaining.

At the heart of the installation was Summerill & Bishop’s beloved collection of linens and entertaining pieces, displayed exactly as they were intended to be enjoyed. Vibrant patterns, stunning florals, and thoughtfully styled tables created a beautiful moment that blurred the line between home, garden, and art while celebrating the importance of gathering together.

As daylight faded, the festivities transitioned into an intimate dinner hosted by Blake Sams and the Summerill & Bishop team. In an era of rushed meals and endless distractions, there is something refreshing about a brand choosing to celebrate the ritual of gathering. If this installation proved anything, it is that a beautifully set table remains one of life’s simplest yet most meaningful expressions of friendship.

Frederic’s It List

Few honors within the design world have become as closely watched as Frederic’s annual It List. Now in its fourth year, the list has quickly established itself as one of the industry’s most influential meters of rising talent.

This week, Editor in Chief Dara Caponigro announced the Class of 2026, recognizing eleven designers from across the globe, including London, Amsterdam, Stockholm, New York, Los Angeles, Atlanta, and Tennessee. This year’s honorees are Claes Dalén, Danielette Dennis, Samantha Feuer of Norris Studio, Todd Hellmuth, Frances Jackson, Michael Joerres, Brian Jones, Brooke Michie, Georgie Stogdon, Alex Yanke of Westbourne Studio, and Bob van Zonneveld.

What makes the It List particularly noteworthy is the eye behind it. Long before launching Frederic, Dara built a reputation as one of design media’s great talent spotters through her leadership roles at Veranda, Domino, Elle Décor, and House Beautiful. Her endorsement carries weight, and increasingly, so does inclusion on the It List. The list also comes out at the five year anniversary of Frederic magazine making this an exciting moment for the publication.

For designers at the beginning of their careers, recognition can be transformative. The It List has become more than an annual award. It is a glimpse into the future of interior design and a reminder that today’s emerging talents are often tomorrow’s household names.

Hill House Home x Williams Sonoma

At this point, it may be easier to ask where Hill House Home isn’t. Fresh off its charming collaboration with Roller Rabbit, Nell Diamond’s lifestyle phenomenon has now arrived at the table with a delightful new collection for Williams Sonoma.

The collection brings Hill House’s signature romantic Americana look to outdoor entertaining, complete with garden-inspired dinnerware, striped linens, playful vegetable motifs, and pieces that feel destined for long lunches and summer suppers. Think cabbages, carrots, tomatoes, and cheerful stripes rendered in the brand’s distinctly polished yet whimsical style.

For those who only know Hill House through its wildly popular Nap Dress, the collaboration serves as a reminder that the company actually began as a home brand before expanding into fashion. In many ways, this latest venture feels like a return to its roots, bringing the same sense of nostalgia, femininity, and everyday beauty that made the brand a favorite in the first place.

There seems to be a renewed appreciation for the art of entertaining, and we are here for it. Following on the heels of Summerill & Bishop’s dreamy Charleston celebration of outdoor dining, this collaboration is another reminder that some of life’s greatest pleasures are found around the table. After all, if there’s one thing Hill House understands, it’s how to make even the simplest of moments feel a little more special. Shop the full collection here!

Welcome to TGP Tidbits where we round up the happenings and our musings of the design industry each week. This week we take a look at Hill House Home x Roller Rabbit, Ralph Lauren’s American Icons, and Tuckernuck Comes to Nantucket. Written by Natalie Aldridge.

Summer with Tuckernuck

Tuckernuck just launched a new Summer Entertaining Collection, featuring a beautiful Americana print just in time for the Fourth of July! The red, white, and blue pattern is available across tabletop essentials perfect for summer entertaining.

The Americana-inspired collection is perfect for celebrating the season with informal meals in the backyard. Good friends, good food, and the kind of easy entertaining summer calls for.

Furthermore, Tuckernuck has officially arrived on Nantucket with the opening of A Sailor’s Valentine, a delightful new concept store on Centre Street that celebrates all things chic Americana and Nantucket lore. While the thoughtfully curated capsule collection is certainly worth browsing, it is the interiors that truly stole our hearts.

Named after the intricate shell mosaics sailors once brought home as gifts, the shop embraces the tradition in the most charming way imaginable. Bright, punchy, and unabashedly cheerful, the space is layered with nautical references, bold color, and playful details that feel perfectly suited to summer on Nantucket. Most enchanting of all are the shell-covered walls, where shells have been meticulously arranged into decorative patterns that manage to feel both wonderfully creative and surprisingly elegant.

Rather than relying on the pared-back coastal aesthetic that has become so ubiquitous, A Sailor’s Valentine embraces ornament, color, and whimsy. It feels fresh, spirited, and distinctly Nantucket without slipping into cliché. The result is the sort of space that reminds us why we love interiors. It is immersive, joyful, and full of personality, with plenty of inspiration.

If you’re headed to Nantucket this summer, come for the shopping, but stay to admire the shells… and be sure to check out Tuckernuck’s Nantucket Travel Guide, with insider tips on where to stay, eat, and shop on Nantucket, according to Tuckernuck.

Ralph Lauren’s American Icons Stamps

Just when we thought Ralph Lauren had found every possible way to define American style, he has landed on postage stamps.

To celebrate the United States’ 250th anniversary, Ralph Lauren has curated American Icons, a collection of 13 commemorative Forever stamps for the U.S. Postal Service. The imagery reads like a visual mood board for the Ralph Lauren universe: a weathered pickup truck, a teddy bear, a baseball glove, wild horses, a lighthouse, a barn, the Empire State Building, and, naturally, an American flag sweater. The collection’s centerpiece is a special knit flag designed by Lauren himself, framed by a field of blue denim.

What makes the project particularly noteworthy is that it marks the first time an individual has been invited to curate an entire collection of official USPS stamps. And it is difficult to imagine a more fitting choice. For nearly six decades, Ralph Lauren has built an empire on a romantic vision of America, transforming everything from Western ranches and East Coast prep schools to vintage sportswear and country estates into an enduring cultural touchstone.

Beyond the upcoming 250th celebrations, the collaboration arrives at a moment when stamp collecting seems to be making a resurgence. Perhaps it is nostalgia, perhaps it is the appeal of tangible objects in an increasingly digital world, or perhaps we are all looking for excuses to send more handwritten notes. Whatever the reason, we are firmly in favor. Longtime readers may recall our passion for stamp collecting, and we have a feeling these stamps may find their way into more than a few albums, desk drawers, and correspondence collections. The stamps can be found here!

Hill House Home x Roller Rabbit

If there are any two brands that embody joy and playfulness, it would be Hill House Home and Roller Rabbit. And if you adore Roller Rabbit pajamas and own at least one Nap Dress, this collaboration was made for you. Hill House Home and Roller Rabbit have joined forces on a limited-edition collection that combines the best of both worlds. With iconic prints, easy summer dresses, and cheerful pajamas, the collection arrives just in time for the season’s beach weekends and summer escapes.

The collection feels wonderfully nostalgic without veering into costume. Roller Rabbit’s beloved monkey motif appears across Hill House’s signature silhouettes, creating pieces that feel equally suited to a beach vacation, a weekend at the lake, or a lazy morning spent lingering over coffee and the newspaper. Bright colors, charming prints, and a healthy dose of whimsy make the entire collection difficult to resist.

There is something refreshingly carefree about it all. In a sea of fashion launches that take themselves rather seriously, this one embraces a sense of lightheartedness. It calls to mind sleepaway camp trunks, family holidays, and the sort of summers that seem to stretch on forever. Shop the full collection here.

Welcome to TGP Tidbits where we round up the happenings and our musings of the design industry each week. This week we take a look at GreenRow x New York Botanical Garden, Dorothy Draper Decorating Weekend, and Corey Damen Jenkins’ NYC Apartment. Written by Natalie Aldridge.

GreenRow x New York Botanical Garden

There are few places more inspiring than the New York Botanical Garden, particularly in the spring and summer months. What is perhaps most extraordinary, especially to designers, is its extensive archive, filled with centuries of botanical studies, rare books, and exquisitely rendered illustrations. Together, they serve as a beautiful reminder that nature has always been one of the world’s greatest decorators.

Now, GreenRow, a sustainable home furnishings company, is bringing a bit of that magic into the home with a new collaboration inspired by the New York Botanical Garden. Drawing from the Garden’s historic archives, the collection spans wallpaper, bedding, rugs, tabletop, linens, and decorative accessories, all interpreted through GreenRow’s signature vintage-inspired aesthetic.

What we especially love is that the collection feels more like a group of treasured finds than a traditional collaboration. Rich florals, painterly details, and timeless patterns evoke the charm of an old botanical folio, while hand-crafted elements lend the pieces a warmth and character that feels perfectly at home in today’s interiors.

Beyond the beauty of the designs themselves, the partnership also celebrates the enduring connection between interiors and the natural world. Better still, the collaboration supports NYBG’s ongoing work in plant science, conservation, and education, making it every bit as meaningful as it is lovely. Shop the full GreenRow x NYBG collection here!

Dorothy Draper Decorating Weekend

What is more instantly recognizable than the grand interiors of The Greenbrier. Since Dorothy Draper transformed the grand resort in 1946, her fearless use of color, exuberant patterns, and larger-than-life sense of glamour have made it one of America’s great decorating destinations and a pilgrimage site for design lovers everywhere.

This fall, The Greenbrier celebrates that remarkable legacy with its 10th Annual Dorothy Draper Decorating Weekend, a gathering dedicated to the enduring magic of Dorothy Draper & Company. Guests will have the opportunity to go behind the scenes through exclusive interior tours, design lectures, evening receptions, and even a visit to the upholstery workshop where the resort’s legendary interiors are lovingly maintained.

Perhaps most exciting of all is the chance to hear directly from the people carrying Draper’s legacy forward, including Dorothy Draper & Co. President Sebastian Varney, Design Director Rudy Saunders, and members of the celebrated design team. Equal parts master class and design fantasy, it will be a wonderfully colorful and inspiring weekend.

Longtime TGP readers may remember that we had the pleasure of attending and covering the event a couple years ago, and it remains one of our favorite design weekends. You can revisit our previous coverage here and here, and for those tempted to make the pilgrimage themselves, reservations and additional information can be found here.

Corey Damen Jenkins’ NYC Apartment

One of the great joys of seeing a designer’s own home is witnessing what happens when there are no client approvals, no committees, and no compromises beyond those of everyday life. Such is the case with Corey Damen Jenkins’ newly redone New York apartment, a home that feels deeply personal while showing the exuberant point of view that has made him one of today’s most celebrated designers.

Originally envisioned as a city pied-à-terre, the apartment ultimately became the primary home that Corey shares with his husband, Adam. The project was as much about bringing together two lives as it was two collections, blending decades of accumulated art, antiques, and furniture into a space that feels joyful, layered, and entirely authentic.

Rather than adhering to a single style, Corey embraces a wonderfully eclectic mix of antiques, mid-century finds, chinoiserie, and glamorous Deco-inspired lighting, all united by a rich palette of emerald, sapphire, garnet, black, and brass. We are especially fond of the deeply romantic details, from the antique map of Colombia honoring Adam’s heritage to the floor-to-ceiling chocolate silk drapery that transforms an otherwise uninspiring bedroom window into a moment of pure drama.

The result is a home that feels collected rather than decorated, proving once again that the most memorable interiors are often those that tell the story of the people who live within them.

Welcome to TGP Tidbits where we round up the happenings and our musings of the design industry each week. This week we take a look at The World of Percy Steinhart, Peony Paradise with Christopher Spitzmiller, and Dior at SCAD Atlanta. Written by Natalie Aldridge.

The World of Percy Steinhart

There are collectors, and then there are true tastemakers. Percy Steinhart undoubtedly belonged to the latter camp. Today, STAIR unveils The World of Percy Steinhart: A Gentleman’s Life, an auction celebrating the founder of Stubbs & Wootton and the distinctly stylish world he created. The collection is every bit as charming, worldly, and thoughtfully curated as the man himself.

Born in Havana, Percy cultivated an aesthetic that balanced sophistication with ease like no other. English antiques mingle effortlessly with modern pieces, Chinese ceramics, European paintings, and works by notable Latin American and Cuban artists, reflecting both his heritage and his discerning eye. In true Percy fashion, elegance never takes itself too seriously.

Throughout the collection, one finds the same qualities that made Stubbs & Wootton so beloved: personality, craftsmanship, a sense of history, and just the right amount of whimsy and humor. It is the sort of sale that invites lingering over every page of the catalogue, giving a glimpse into Percy’s rarified world and the beautifully homes he inhabited.

For more information, please check out the auction here.

Peony Paradise with Christopher Spitzmiller

This weekend, celebrated designer and gardener Christopher Spitzmiller is opening his “Peony Field of Dreams,” inviting visitors to Orangerie Garden to experience the height of peony season and bring home freshly cut stems from his collection of more than 2,000 plants.

Christopher will be on hand to discuss the many varieties he has spent years cultivating, offering a rare opportunity to learn from someone whose love of flowers is nearly as legendary as his lamps. For those of us who eagerly await peony season each year, this feels a bit like a pilgrimage.

Corals, whites, pale pinks, and vivid magentas will be in bloom, creating what can only be described as peony paradise. The event takes place this Saturday from 10am to 1pm at Orangerie Garden in Pleasant Valley, New York, and we can think of few lovelier ways to spend a spring morning.

Dior at SCAD Atlanta

As lovers of design, we are often just as interested in the process as the finished product. Perhaps that is why Dior: Crafting Fashion at the SCAD museum in Atlanta, immediately caught our attention. Rather than simply displaying a range of beautiful dresses, the exhibition explores the creative world behind the House of Dior and all the details that go into making a garment.

From the first muslin mock-ups to the spectacular runway moments that follow, visitors are invited into the making of the Dior dream itself. More than 100 pieces are on view, including items never before exhibited publicly.

One detail we found particularly fascinating is that Christian Dior originally dreamed of becoming an architect. Suddenly, so much of the house’s enduring appeal makes sense. There has always been something deeply architectural about Dior. The structure, the precision, and the balance between discipline and romance are the very same qualities that make a beautiful building, only Dior transformed them into some of fashion’s most unforgettable dresses.

The exhibition also traces the history of the maison, from Christian Dior through the designers who followed in his footsteps, each bringing a distinct perspective. For those who appreciate craftsmanship, artistry, and a peek behind the curtain, this is exhibition worth adding to the itinerary.
