Kips Bay Decorator Show House returns to Dallas in October – taking place in this luxurious property

For all design enthusiasts, there's a new date to add to the calendar this fall, as Kips Bay Decorator Show House has announced its return to Dallas. Hosted by the Kips Bay Boys & Girls Club, the esteemed design event will be taking place for three weeks beginning Friday, October 25, 2024.

Marking its fifth annual event in Dallas, its October return is set to place in the impressive 2999 Turtle Creek Boulevard within the Turtle Creek neighborhood; serving as the nation's leading design event while raising funds for the youth organization.

'We are thrilled to showcase our fifth annual event at this iconic address,' says James Druckman, President of the Board of the Kips Bay Boys & Girls Club. 'We anticipate a showcase that not only celebrates design innovation but also underscores our commitment to raising critical funding both for the community and our kids.'

The event will see esteemed interior designers unleash their design skills to transform 2999 Turtle Creek Boulevard. A property that combines French Renaissance style with modern design ; this fall's location will no doubt be an exciting and unique challenge for the designers.

Located next to the city's iconic Rosewood Mansion, the 25,000-square-foot property set within a two-acre estate was previously intended to become the first Mandarin Oriental hotel, providing a glimpse of how grand it is.

The luxurious estate also boasts an impressive and interesting history. Dating back to Dallas's Golden Age in the late 1940s, the Cipango Club was a prominent social venue: a place for fine dining, dancing, and gambling. By the 1990s, real estate pioneer John Eulich sought to transform the 2999 Turtle Creek site into a family office, with construction completed in 2004.

Today, the Turtle Creek neighborhood is recognized for its impressive early 20th-century estates that retain their opulent history while serving as a dynamic residential and commercial destination.

This year's design event will benefit two Dallas-based charities: Dwell with Dignity, a nonprofit that helps create homes for families struggling with homelessness and poverty; and The Crystal Charity Ball which supports various children's charities across Dallas County.

'This year's location offers a beautiful canvas for our talented designers, showcasing their creativity while supporting our mission to enrich the lives of our youth through the power of art and design,' says Dan Quintero, Executive Director of the Kips Bay Boys & Girls Club.

The list of designers set to take part in this fall's event is yet to be announced, but you can head to the Kips Bay Decorator Show House website to find out more about the upcoming design event.
