The 2015 Decorators’ Show House will be viewable by the public starting Friday, April 25th, 2015. The stunning transformation has been brought about by a team of 46 designers who started working on the project on February 9. Since that time, room after room of design enhancements have been applied. A preview party will commence on April 24, where lucky visitors will be the first to see the metamorphosis of the 6600 sq’ Arts and Crafts style Edward H. Webster House (circa 1907-08).
This is the 18th time that The Buffalo News and the Junior League of Buffalo have undertaken such a monumental task. In that time, the effort has managed to raise $3.7 million for the Greater Buffalo community.
