• the nile nocturne •
Kips Bay has been one of those career milestones I’ve looked toward ever since I started in design, so I’m incredibly honored to be designing a bedroom for this year’s Kips Bay Decorator Show House Dallas. It’s a privilege to be part of something with such an incredible legacy, and I’m excited to finally introduce “The Nile Nocturne.”
I imagined the room for a well-traveled collector with an instinct for the unexpected, a taste for beautiful things and a few stories best left untold. Egyptian Revival, French Art Deco and English antiques come together, drawing on the allure of Cairo, Paris and the English countryside with a distinctly modern sense of intrigue. Moody Schumacher chinoiserie wallcovering meets a suede ceiling traced in gold faux bois, antique Egyptian rugs and a mirrored Art Deco screen recalling Coco Chanel’s famous staircase. Overhead, seven brass chandeliers make one sweeping gesture.
A little history. A little friction. A few unexpected turns.
Over the next few weeks, I’ll be sharing the journey from concept and installation to opening night. I hope you’ll follow along as “The Nile Nocturne” unfolds.
