A G e o r g i a n - style house in O l d P r e s t o n Hollow's elegant S u n n y b r o o k Estates neigh- borhood is the site for the second annual Kips Bay Decorator Show House Dallas, which opens to the public for a month on Friday, September 24. Located at 5138 Deloache Avenue, the classic Georgian estate has 11,259 square feet of living space on 1.44 acres of landscaped grounds. Twenty-nine designers will be selected via committee to transform rooms in the Kips Bay Decorator Show House Dallas, with names announced soon. Designers will be selected from across the United States, as well as from Dallas and other major cities in Texas. Last year's debut Dallas show house was a huge success, drawing national press and thousands of visitors. This year's chairs include Jan Showers, Jean Lui, Chad Dorsey, and Veranda editor in chief Steele Marcoux, as well as vice-chairs Trish Sheats and Laura Lee Falconer. The Dallas show house, which opens to the public Friday September 24, will have an opening day and evening event Thursday, September 23. The show house falls during Texas Design Week Dallas (September 20 – 24) and is open through October 24. Kips Bay Boys & Girls Club and the Dallas show house will be honored at the Dallas PaperCity Design Awards Friday, September 24, at Virgin Hotels Dallas. The Dallas show house benefits Kips Bay Boys & Girls Club, which provides young people with educational and developmental programs in New York City, as well as Dallas nonprofits Dwell with Dignity and The Crystal Charity Ball. Founded in 1973 as a fundraiser to benefit Kips Bay Boys & Girls Club, the Kips Bay Decorator Show House each year draws dozens of the most celebrated designers and architects to transform a townhouse on Manhattan's Upper East Side, attracting about 15,000. It's been so successful that three years ago, Kips Bay added an annual Palm Beach show house, and Dallas in 2020. Veranda magazine takes the lead as national media sponsor, with PaperCity serving as local media sponsor.
