Designer Kitchen With Painted Floors

I came across this beautiful kitchen by San Francisco-based interior designer, Palmer Weiss while getting my daily dose of inspiration on Pinterest. The all white kitchen has a mix of traditional and contemporary elements including marble countertops, hicks pendant lights and stainless steel appliances. It was the fabulous and bold chartreuse painted flooring however,  that had me taking another look.

Peninsula Volunteers Decorator Show House :: Mother-in-Law Suite

Interior Designer, Christine Sheldon was inspired by the beautiful views of the estate when designing the Mother-in-Law Suite for the Peninsula Volunteers Decorator Show House. For the room which receives wonderful natural light from windows positioned on the north, south and east walls, Sheldon selects a restful color palette in shades of gray and adds an energetic coral for accents. The vibrant accent is most evident in the velvet upholstered headboard, but is also repeated in the embroidered drapery and artwork throughout the space.

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.
