Traditional Living Room, San Francisco

Subtle curves and circle patterns repeat throughout the home as seen in the custom fireplace screen, and drapes made from hand embroidered fabric imported from India. The silhouettes of the custom upholstered sofa and armchairs also pick up the curvilinear beat. Notice the detailing of the back of the chairs. It is cream lacquer with a bronze metal “X” to give this perspective of the room from the dining room that much more interest for the eye. The room’s original wood trimmed windows give the home an airy quality and the open flow modernizes the Craftsman style while still retaining its old world charm. Take a close look at the painting to the left of the entry. This landscape of Tuscany was painted by the owner’s mother. The large painting to the right of the entry is a commissioned piece and is a modern interpretation of a landscape. This room is filled with treasures from the homeowner’s travels. From the hand glazed ceramics on the mantle to the many items on the gold hand-painted metal étagère in the corner, there are wonderful stories and memories associated with each of them.
