INSPIRATION

Trish Sheats adds Fort Worth flair to Kips Bay Show House

This year’s Kips Bay Boys & Girls Club Decorator Show House organizers have selected a Dallas residence for the annual fundraising makeover. The multiday event showcases the talent and creativity of 27 architects, artists and designers from around the country, including Fort Worth, with proceeds benefiting the Kips Bay Boys & Girls Club and Dallas charities Dwell with Dignity and the Crystal Charity Ball. DWD is dedicated to creating inspiring homes for those struggling with homelessness and poverty (check out info on its Thrift Studio on Page 38).

The carefully selected talent includes design industry veterans — Dallas’ Jan Showers is co-chairman of the show — along with rising stars. Fort Worth’s lone representative is Trish Sheats of Trish Sheats Interior Design. After graduating with an interior design degree from the University of Texas at Austin, she worked for two firms before venturing out on her own and has been in business for more than 25 years.

SAVE THE DATE

Round Top returns for fall

Like many other events, the Round Top Antiques Show pushed its fall event to Oct. 15-Nov. 1 due to COVID-19. The plus? Cooler temperatures are much more likely for the two-week festival. Organizers and county officials say there will be capacity limits and that dealers will adhere to health standards and safety measures for themselves and shoppers. Events in enclosed areas will have stricter measures than the open-air buildings, tents and barns. The smaller winter show is scheduled for Jan. 21-24, 2021. Check out more information, along with the list of vendors, at roundtop.com, and continue to monitor the event’s status for updates.
