Metropolitan Home and Showtime will be partnering this Fall on a designer show house! For the month of September, a $20 million, 8,800 square foot Greek Revival townhouse in New York’s Grammercy Park will be transformed into a chic modernist dwelling with interiors that evoke the spirit of the cable channel’s hit shows such as Californication, The Tudors, The L Word and Weeds. The show house will feature interiors by some of the top names in the industry including Vicente Wolf, Jamie Drake, Tori Golub, Laura Kirar, White Webb and Amy Lau who are all said to be on board for the project. Lots of top tier talent so I’m sure it will be amazing. I hear that the house will also be available for private events.
I have to say, Weeds is one of my favorite shows. Does anyone else watch it? Only Weeds insiders will get this but I was thinking it would be funny if the stolen cross from Majestic made an appearance in one of the rooms. Hehe! Anyway–I think this collaboration provides a unique and clever cross promotional marketing opportunity for both brands and I can’t wait to see what’s in store! As soon as I have more details I will be sure to give you an update!

This should be some show house…looking forward to it…Keep me posted. I’m sure it will be worth a trip to the city to view. I like the Tudors and that period in design…. don’t know the other shows.
Hey, I was a bit disappointed with the Wash Post blog watch this week, were you?….Is Terry running out of material?…Oh well, hope next week is better. That’s how I find out about blogs that I don’t know…Thanks… Fay

Hi Fay! I will definitely keep you updated on the Met Home house. As for this weeks Blog Watch, I just checked it out and have to play devil’s advocate on this one. Her pick of the week had a local angle which may not necessarily appeal to the masses but I’m sure is of interest to many of the readers in the market that the paper primarily serves. Let’s see what she comes up with next week!
The Kitchen and Dining Room are to be designed by Amy Lau and Johnny Grey, themed for ‘Dexter’. The show and designers will be featured opening night, with celebrities in attendance.
