Having done the show once before my kudos go out to anyone willing to take on the challenge of participating in this Show House or any Show House for that matter. Since participation is based on being asked to participate by the board or by qualifying through submitting a portfolio judged by peers once you are asked to be one of the selected designers it's almost impossible to refuse. The cost of participation is financially extremely high and has to be balanced off the rewards of press acknowledgement and prestige. Taking on the task of getting a room built demands my respect no matter what I might think of the design.
So without much editorializing here are some of this year's class of participants
