San Francisco Decorator Showcase 2013 :: The Maker’s Mark Retreat

Kelly Hohla, Design Principal at Jeffers Design Group, designed “The Maker’s Mark Retreat” for this year’s San Francisco Decorator Showcase. An homage to the urban artisan, the light filled corner room retreat is on the 2nd floor. It’s an elegant space that could be used as a home office during the day and then a cozy place to unwind in the evening by the fireplace with a cocktail.

Hohla selects a soothing dusky grey-blue palette which is articulated by the stunning custom hair-on-hide wallcovering by Kyle Bunting. It provides such wonderful texture, pattern and movement in the space.

An earthy  hand-crafted walnut “Crosswinds” credenza by New York artist Michael Coffey, is placed just behind the desk and topped with a pair of gorgeous brass lamps by Milan-based Roberto Giulio Rida. A large-scale abstract oil painting (artist unknown to me) hangs just above the credenza.

San Francisco Decorator Showcase 2013 :: The Living Room

San Francisco Decorator Showcase Living Room Catherine Kwong

San Francisco based interior designer, Catherine Kwong designed an elegant, yet edgy living room for the 2013 San Francisco Decorator Showcase. While researching for a client, Kwong came across photos of Mick and Bianca Jagger in the 1970′s – they were young and wild. The iconic rock royalty couple inspired the living room’s design for the Showcase.

However, it’s the hand-painted floor takes center stage. Created by Stancil Studios, the free-spirited pattern was inspired by the paintings of Cy Twombly. It’s quite the juxtaposition to the ornate ceiling, marble fireplace and traditional architecture.
