At this year’s 2026 NKBA Design Awards Gala, Allison Scott of Nip Tuck Remodeling took home 1st Place in the Primary Bathroom category, earning top honors for a space that reflects the very best in craftsmanship, innovation, and elevated design. Set against a backdrop of timeless sophistication and spirited equestrian charm, the evening celebrated the art of designing spaces that allow people to live beautifully.
The gala itself was nothing short of unforgettable. Guests were welcomed into an elegant outdoor cocktail gathering where the atmosphere felt reminiscent of a private polo estate — refined, relaxed, and effortlessly stylish. As the sun set, a warm evening glow created the perfect setting for conversation, connection, and celebration beneath the open sky.
