Like a breath of spring air and, with lavish interiors and landscaping the Kips Bay Decorator Show House Palm Beach is back, highlighting spaces decorated by a cast of designers who have made over a 4,400 square-foot, five-bedroom Mediterranean-style house and gardens on the South Flagler Drive waterfront in West Palm Beach.
Among those design pros is Palm Beach designer Ellen Kavanaugh, who has created a glam lounge retreat on a second-floor treetop terrace.
“The show house is really fun,” she says. “It can be very challenging, but it’s worth it in the end.”
