Cows (in May) at the Metcalf Estate in Rumson.

Basically, a local billionaire bought the estate and turned it over to several local designers; each designer got to decorate one room in the house. When everything was done, people were charged admission to see what the inside of the estate looked like. The admission went to benefit the Visiting Nurse Association, and the designers (they hoped) made money from all the people who came to the estate and said “Oh darling, wouldn’t that chair look lovely in our sitting room? Let’s buy it” or “I love this room! Can you do ours?”
