Ever drive by a grand home and wonder what it looks like inside?

Design lovers in Wilmington, Del., can do just that at the Oxford Arts Alliance Decorator Showhouse & Gardens in tony Westover Hills.

A swat team of decorators and artisans descended on a 1927 Tudor-style mansion that needed a boost and transformed it into a palace of high style. Think dreamy, yacht-like master bedroom, a serene home office, and intimate dining room with extravagant moldings and millwork. Explore gardens, a charming greenhouse and, my personal fave, an outdoor sitting room decorated in safari style.

The Oxford Arts Alliance Decorator Showhouse & Gardens runs through Nov. 3. Hours are Tuesday through Saturday, 10 a.m.-5 p.m. and Sundays, noon to 5 p.m. Extended hours on Thursdays until 8 p.m. Tickets are $30 and can be purchased online at oxforddecoratorshowhouse.com or at the door. Check the website for details on parking.

In addition to the arts alliance, the event benefits four other nonprofit organizations: the Delaware Breast Cancer Coalition, Child Inc., Wilmington Flower Market and Delaware Children’s Theatre.
