Living Spaces Wow at Decorator Showcase
With a moss-covered fireplace, plywood painted backsplash, abalone shell chandelier and much more, the show home of the 2012 San Francisco Decorator Showcase brought out all of the stops.
Designers reconfigured the rooms in a stately 19th-century house, in San Francisco's well-to-do Pacific Heights neighborhood, in more modern layouts and outfitted them with gorgeous light fixtures, hand-painted details and lustworthy accessories. Luxe details, such as leather-lined drawer pulls, a rich mohair rug and an outdoor chandelier, showed up everywhere.
Join us for a peek at some of our favorite living spaces and design ideas.
Modern Pantry/Tearoom
By Tinsley Hutson Wiley and Allison Bloom
These designers created a stunning Union Jack backsplash (right) out of painted and finished plywood. The elements of this pantry, from the backsplash to the shelving to the burlap curtains to the zinc counters, are relatively inexpensive and easy to install.
Downstairs Kitchen and Lounge
By Green Couch Interior Design
Every grand home needs an indoor-outdoor space, and Green Couch Interior Design made the most of this home's expansive square footage with a combined kitchen and living space that opens up to the outdoor patio. The mild San Francisco weather begs for spaces like this, and neutral furnishings keep the focus on the outdoor view.
Being open to the outdoor patio makes the kitchen more entertainment friendly.
City Salon
By Steven Henry and Michael Booth, Bamo
An extra-large living space can be hard to organize — traditional living room setups just don't work well in long rooms. These designers broke up the space in a salon style, creating multiple conversation areas with French and Italian antique furniture, and with Moroccan rugs acting as visual dividers.
Dining Room
By Marysia Rybock, Scavullo Design
While this dining room called for a grand design, the designer put a modern twist on the traditional table and chairs arrangement.
