SHOWTIME HOUSE!!!!!

/


Everybody loves a good Showhouse, right? We are used to seeing them in the Spring and maybe there are a few during the holiday season. But our craving is usually put on hold in the Fall.

Well, we are in luck, because this Fall, starting the weekend of September 12, Metropolitan Home's second annual Showtime House is slated to open to the public. Met Home and Showtime are partnering for a second season bringing their cutting edge cable TV hits to life with the design talents of some of the country's most notable designers.
The event takes place in New York at the Tribeca Summit: "a collection of elegant loft residences created from an historic former warehouse." To learn more about the building (pictured above), click here.
Let's cut to the chase here. So, what shows are providing the inspiration and who are the designers? That's what was formost in my list of questions.
Each designer has been assigned a room and a Showtime Series:

Can you just imagine?
And the designer lineup:

1) Marie Aiello, Dexter Foyer, Living and Dining Room, Kitchen, and Terrace
2) Matthew Berman and Andrew Kotchen, Nurse Jackie Waiting Room Lounge and Triage Garden
3) James Biber, Weeds Dining Room
