Asian Import - Photos & Ideas

This bedroom is sprinkled with exotic flair in every piece of furniture and accessory chosen. The owners wanted an “east meets west” vibe in their master bedroom and they could not have been happier with the results! I chose a four poster bed with turned posts to give the room height and old world aesthetic as a starting point. From there, the other elements fell easily in to place. Deciding to use different sized console tables with different styles instead of traditional nightstands was important in giving the room a more modern feel. I splashed accents of spring green throughout the room to for a fresh and cozy feeling. The sitting area with the two striped chairs is so grand in height and style, while the antique console (in front of the bed) and art work provide an eclectic mix of pieces to finish out the room perfectly. What I love most about this design is that every corner of this room is interesting and beautiful on its own, but together they make for the most elegant, put together space that exudes a Zen feeling as soon as you walk in the door.

San Francisco Master Bedroom

This client is an archeologist, can you tell? The light that pours in through the bay windows keeps this room feeling bright even against this eye catching dark sea blue wall. The touches of lavender compliment the blues and give the room a sense of sophistication.

This poor dining room was suffering from post traumatic stress syndrome, before it received this update. You are welcomed to enter the space by these 2 very early 16th century wooden reliefs. The empty niches received crystal lucite shelving and these chinese figures (part of the clients personal collection) were added. The walls were brightened over a dreary faux sandy venetian plaster job. The iron chandelier was removed and this Murano Glass Chandelier was imported from Justine's of Paris, France. Previously there was an inserted commercial rug around the jerusalem tile floor, this was removed and this beautiful antique was laid. The antique Venetian mirror hangs opposite two 18th century Italianate commodes. The drapes are dual layered incorporated to create an elegant golden shimmer. The fabric for the chairs is from Bergamo. The China hutch was custom finished to match the 18th century commodes.

1930's Custom Remodel - Kitchen & Breakfast Area

G.B. Construction and Development, Inc.

The kitchen was expanded in this 1930's home to be more functional for a 21st century growing family. It was important to our client to maintain the charm and the architectural authenticity she loved growing up as a child. One of the more challenging features was rebuilding the beautiful lead glass windows so they would be both historically accurate as well as functional for today's climate extremes. Another challenge was recreating the black and white tile floor. Each tile was custom cut to achieve the desired look. A custom made built-in bench and cushion were made for the breakfast nook, complete with storage drawers beneath.
