Kimberly Ayres is a California-based designer and the owner of Kimberly Ayres Home, a furnishings boutique and showroom in San Francisco. Dubbed one of the Top Ten Young Designers to Watch in 2009 by Domino magazine, Kimberly continues to define her work by her ability to merge classic design with bohemian elegant style. Kimberly creates personal, highly individual, and notably comfortable spaces with her laidback sense of chic.

After practicing law for a number of years, Kimberly took a bold step to pursue her passion for design by heading back to school .to study painting, antiques and interior architecture. After completing studies at International Fine Arts in Miami and at UCLA in Los Angeles, Kimberly jumped head first into an apprenticeship with internationally renowned designer Kelly Wearstler, and continued her development with renowned designer Michael Lee in Malibu. In 2000, Kimberly launched Kimberly Ayres Interior Design in Los Angeles where she quickly established a notable clientele and reputation for deftly mixing eras and cultures. In 2006, she opened her much admired Kimberly Ayres Home furnishings and accessories store in San Francisco. 

Kimberly and Kimberly Ayres Home have been highlighted in national publications and Kimberly has been honored to participate with an elite group of designers in San Francisco's annual Decorator Showcase House.

## Community Q&A

**Q: where is this wallpaper from?** *(in Photo Questions)*

I see in the orange wallpaper it said Twenty2 so was it custom?

A: Hello. It's by Twenty2.  Possibly a discontinued color if you don't see it on Twenty2's website, as I don't think we ordered custom for this project. They're very easy tp work with and can probably reproduce this for you.

This kitchen is just what I'm looking for in my remodel. Would you please share the countertop surface? Is it real marble or quartz? If quartz, the brand and name please? Thank you!
