Designer Show House set to open this week
BINGHAMTON, N.Y. (WIVT/WBGH) – It's go time for a year-long project to transform a historic treasure in our area.
Junior League Binghamton is set to launch its Designer Show House event at the Kilmer Mansion.
Several local interior designers and contractors have refurbished the three-story mansion, with new paint, flooring, and light fixtures. Then, they've moved in furnishings, artwork, and home decor, all of which are for sale to the public.
The project will not only benefit the Kilmer but also raise money for a new Food Recovery and Prepared Meal Truck, which will be gifted to CHOW.
Junior League President Alisha Swietzer says people will be blown away by the talent on display.
'It's enlightening, I don't think, I didn't know, I think a lot of people will realize how much local talent we have in the aspect of designers, decorators, antique shops, artists, and it's really neat as you walk through each room to see their perspective, their each individual take and design ideas. We have so much talent in Broome and Tioga County, it's surreal, it's motivating and inspirational,' said Swietzer.
Starting Wednesday, there will be both self-guided open house tours and guided history tours available, plus several special events, a Smoke and Sip cigar and whiskey tasting, a Chef Showcase competition, Bunco and Bubbles, and a sneak peek champagne tour to get a first look at the revamped mansion.
