Friday Faves: Antique Carved Mirror
On a recent trip for a San Francisco based client, I came across this Italian antique carved mahogany mirror at Anthem in the Presidio. Dramatic and elegant, it’s a wonderful piece for a dining or living room.
Freeform Console Table by Jason Phillip’s Design
Last weekend I went to Morimoto’s new restaurant in Napa, and I fell in love with their lounge coffee tables. Though I’m not certain who designed them, this Freeform Console Table by Jason Phillip’s Design is a similar style. Rustic yet polished, the fiberglass & resin create an amazing contrast.
Thrifty Thursday: DIY Wallpaper
DIY self-adhesive wallpaper is a great option when you want to spruce up a room on a budget or if you’re renting and cannot permanently change the walls. There’s no need to hire a wallpaper hanger. We’re using a beautiful gray design from Tempaper on the back of a PB hutch in a girl’s room. Other [...]
Design Meets Fashion: Summer Tones

He takes discarded materials and gives them a “second chance” by dramatically transforming them into pieces of art & furniture, which are intended to mend the relationship between man and the tree versus being purely [...]
History Lesson: A Marriage of Art – Eileen & Ross Curtis
We had the pleasure of visiting one of our favorite resources, Lost Art Salon in San Francisco on Friday while shopping for a client. Their fine art collection is comprised of over 4,000 works of rediscovered and historically significant artists which reflect the major styles and movements of the 20th Century (1900-1960s). Every piece is researched, [...]
Light Carpet by Johanna Hyrkäs
Freshome did a great feature this week called 25 of the Most Creative Carpet Designs for Playful Interiors and though all of them are incredible – from Lise el Sayed’s rug that contains wearable sandals to Lim Hyuntaik’s sound booth design – the one that I keep thinking about is the gorgeous Light Carpet by [...]
