“Benjamin Moore’s commitment to refresh the interior walls of all the rooms in both the Stone House and Richmond Cottage is a tremendous benefit to the designers,” said Gabrielle O’Quinn, Chair of the 2018 Miami Showhouse, along with Rosemary Hartigan. “The hues are indicative of the era in which the homes were built, with inspiration drawn from Maricel, Charles Deering’s artistically stunning home in Spain,” she added.
Guests will have the opportunity to explore the residence reinterpreted with modern touches. The Miami Showhouse is open Tuesdays through Sundays, April 15-29, from 11:00 am to 5:00 pm. Tickets are $40 which includes admission to the historic homes and estate grounds. Self-guided tours and Showhouse volunteers will be available. For more information, or to purchase tickets, please visit www.miamishowhouse.org.
“We are grateful and awestruck by the outpouring of interest by these remarkable designers,” said Rosemary Hartigan. “We know their work will be extraordinary, and the Showhouse promises to be an amazing event with this group of creative geniuses.”
The last Showhouse took place in 2016 at The Kampong, a nine-acre national historic landmark that is one of five tropical gardens and three preserves of the National Tropical Botanical Garden. Between ticket sales and corporate sponsorships, the event drew in nearly $350,000.
The Deering Estate Foundation, which serves as the philanthropic arm of the Deering Estate, has committed to spending $25,000 on furnishings, lighting and other unique décor to remain in the designer spaces after the Showhouse ends.
