The mirrors, headboard, and bedding the bedroom at Coddington's Potrero Hill home are also all her own designs. An excellent sense of proportion and years of experience and resources have allowed Coddington the freedom to design most of her pieces exactly as she wants.
For those of us who aren't quite as gifted, the sense of unique and custom pieces can still be accomplished with little personal touches to existing furniture — adding new drawer pulls to a dresser, painting a vintage console a bright lacquer, or sewing curtains from a fun fabric store find.
