Assignment: Showcase how 18 designers transform a Florida Mansion through video.

What happens when 18 talented designers have just a month to completely renovate an iconic home? A little bit of mayhem and a whole lot of inspiration. That was the case at this year's Kips Bay Decorator Show House Palm Beach, the third annual designer showcase benefitting New York's Kips Bay Boys & Girls Club as well as the Palm Beach chapter. Participating designers have just a few weeks to conceptualize, install, and present their designs...meaning they're looking for as many time and money saving tricks as possible—just like most of us! This year, the designers faced specific challenges given the house: a modernist, multi-building home by architect Lars Bolander. Using a whole lot of creativity they transformed the property into a dream home, with plenty of tips and tricks to take away. Here are the best ones.
