Inside the Kaleidoscope Project

Designer showhouses have long been a staple of the interior design world. And while we love touring them for inspiration—and they've been the setting for some of the most iconic design moments—they're always somewhat bittersweet. At the end of a showhouse run, all of those beautiful rooms, complete with wallpaper, flooring, furniture, and window treatments, are disassembled and returned to whatever state they were in before their designers worked their magic. But that's not the case with the Kaleidoscope Project. Opened this weekend in Lenox, Massachusetts, the project is a first-of-its-kind showhouse filled with rooms reimagined exclusively by designers of color. And at the end of its run as a showhouse on June 6, the space will return to its original function as The Cornell Inn. Talk about a dream getaway.
