Preparations underway for Designer Show House at Kilmer Mansion
BINGHAMTON, N.Y. (WIVT/WBGH) – One of Greater Binghamton's most iconic estates is currently undergoing a one-of-a-kind transformation.
Preparations for the Junior League of Binghamton's latest fundraiser are happening at Kilmer Mansion.
The organization is hosting a Designer Show House at the mansion.
Local designers and decorators are restoring the mansion, re-imagining what it would look like if the Kilmers still lived there. Some upgrades include carpeting, lighting, painting, and more.
The mansion will be staged for the event, which will take place from June 3 to June 17.
Show House Marketing Chair and Junior League Member Christina Olevano says the results will be unlike anything you've seen before.
'Whether you've been to the Kilmer Mansion and you've toured it before, like myself, or whether this would be your first time going through, it's just super exciting. It is going to be really a show,' said Olevano.
Olevano says the permanent changes will help preserve and sustain the mansion for years to come.
Funds raised during the Designer Show House will go to purchasing a food recovery and prepared meals truck for CHOW.
There will be guided, private, and open house tours as well as several special events during the showcase.
Tickets are on sale now.
