The 36th Annual Kips Bay Decorator Show House opens soon and it’s a good thing, as show house committee chair Patricia Carey may be looking for some ideas to decorate her new Hamptons home.
Public records show that Carey and husband, W. Ward Carey, recently bought a home on Fieldview Lane in East Hampton for $3.2 million after selling their Dunemere Lane home in the same town for $6.335 million.
Carey has chaired the showhouse committee for many years, raising millions for the Kips Bay Boys & Girls Club, an organization that provides afterschool enrichment programs to 14,000 New York City children each year.
The 2008 Show House is located at 200 E 66th Street, and the event runs from April 24 to May 22. General admission is $30 per person.
