The Kittinger Gallery and Design Studio is both an employer of Villa graduates and a popular internship site for Villa students.  As a thank you to our Internship supervisors the college waives tuition for a course of their choice.  We are very pleased that owner Karen Bialkowski finds time in her busy schedule to use this opportunity for her own professional development and design interest. She brings a unique perspective to the classroom, and her contributions to discussions always enhances the learning experience for all the students. The room that Kittinger designed for the Junior League of Buffalo Decorator Show House 2013, the Knox Summer Estate had a relaxed feel that would be comfortable for family evenings but spacious and welcoming for guests.  Traditional with a contemporary flair, there was an impecable style evidenced throughout the space, from the inglenook fireplace to the wine tasting niche to the conversational seating areas with magnificent views of the estate. Notable features in the space were selections of beautiful artwork, attention to detail, unique accesories and a connection with the historical significance of the estate and the Knox family….a definitive design success!
