One of the most ambitious programs in New York design world is the annual Kips Bay Decorator Show House, which opened last week. This time, the show takes place over five floors of a new limestone-clad townhouse on East 61st Street. Walking into the Show House is like walking into a world of fantasy. The spaces, created by 21 design firms from the US and Canada, are presented to perfection, and at the same time demonstrate new directions in luxurious interior décor. I found those furnished in 20th-century pieces particularly inspiring, and thus feature them here. Above: bathroom by Russell Groves of Groves & Co; Images @ Phillip Ennis
