Blogfest 2012 kicked off at The Aldyn, the site of the 40th annual Kips Bay Decorator Show House. For the first time in its history, the Show House is taking place on the Upper West Side in 2 stunning and modern 6,000 square foot penthouses.
The designers chosen this year are truly the “best of the best”. Imagine my surprise at seeing Charlotte Moss next to her room, “Behind the Hedges” discussing the photography and wall treatments.
Other designers include: Alexa Hampton, Jamie Drake, Bunny Williams (also this year’s Show House Committee Chair), Brian del Toro, Thom Filicia and Todd Alexander Romano, to name a few.
As you might guess from the first photo, the entry way was covered in Scalamandre’s iconic red zebra print.
Ready to take a quick tour?
Oh, and yes, Margaret Russell, editor of Architectural Digest stopped by to welcome us all. (Personal thrill!).
Hope you’re week is going well….I’ll keep the updates coming!
Elizabeth,
Thank-you for sharing all your thrills with us….which somehow made me forget all about the rain!
Enjoy your day at blog fest.

What fun Elizabeth! I planned to be there this year, but my son's graduation is this Friday morning, and it would have been just too much to be traveling this week in NY. Next year must be the year for me!
Margaret Russell is a beauty! As are you!
