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

May 13, 2013 · Comments { 6 }

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.

Providing guests with a comfortable place to work or write, Sheldon places a desk finished in a smoky blue shagreen is paired with a chic lucite chair in the room’s corner. It topped with beautiful accessories including  fresh flowers, horn covered box and a crisp white table lamp.

San Francisco Decorator Showcase 2013 :: Writer’s Retreat

May 10, 2013 · Comments { 3 }

Fresh, airy and chic describes the Writer’s Retreat designed by Kriste Michelini for the San Francisco Decorator Showcase 2013. The light filled, attic room on the Pacific Height mansion’s third floor features whitewashed floors, grasscloth walls and chic furnishings.

A platform bed with vibrant mix of patterned throw pillows (many of which are from Caitlin Wilson) and whimsical Kandy wallcovering in Brit Pop by Elitis is perhaps my favorite spot in the room.

Peninsula Volunteers Decorator Show House :: The Card Room

May 8, 2013 · Comments { 4 }

Inspired by the preppy, glamorous style of 1960’s Palm Beach, San Francisco-based interior designer, Scot Meacham Wood of SMW Design has transformed a corner room for the Peninsula Volunteers Decorator Show House into a delightful Card Room. With stunning views of the pool, waterfall and magnificent Woodside hills, it’s the perfect spot for an afternoon bridge match, refreshing drink and good old fashion girl talk.

Using nearly 100 yards of fabric,  the room is tented from ceiling to floor in Lilly Pulitzer’s “Tail Lights” in emerald green (available at Lee Jofa).  Each of the four card tables are covered in “Happy Plaid” also by Lilly Pulitzer, topped with darling polished chrome lamps by Circa Lighting and circled with varied antique chairs. The grand chinoiserie secretary (love!) from Baker Furniture was placed opposite the French doors. It balances the r

A cheery yellow custom designed bar cart from the Gilded Stag  is stocked with summertime drinks. I love that this piece was a bit over-sized. It’s the right scale for the space.

Scot incorporates wonderful artwork throughout the space including photography by famed photographer Slim Aarons and several works from local photographer James Scott Geras.

Peninsula Volunteers Decorator Show House :: Guest Bedroom & Bath

May 6, 2013 · Comments { 12 }

Melodie Rubin of House of Ruby designed the Traveler’s Bedroom, a serene guest retreat for the Peninsula Volunteers Decorator Show House in Woodside, California going on now until May 24th. The sunlit second floor bedroom as Melodie puts it, “offers the best seat in the house, providing an impressive view of the three-story birch tree and Woodside hills beyond.”

Guest Bedroom - Peninsula Decorator Show House - House of RubyEmbroidered linen window treatments inspired the room’s tranquil color palette of  lavender, blues, greens and ivory. It’s the gilded canopy bed however, that takes center stage. I love that it has a soft upholstered headboard – it’s a nice juxtaposition to the metal frame. An ornate hand-beaded floral chandelier (which reminded me of a birdcage) hangs elegantly above a seating area placed at the foot of the bed.

The pair of Bunny Williams table lamps beautifully mimic the movement and pattern in throw pillows on the sofa love-seat. Those table lamps are gorgeous and are a personal favorite.

Melodie (pictured above) designed a custom corner bookshelf lined in blue paint. It not only balances the room, but displays beautiful collections of art, books and worldly treasures. I also loved the sculpture of the colorful archer she selected and place just beside the bookcase.

Just of the guest bedroom is the Dressing Room and Bath by Jana Meewes Fung of Julianne Quelle Interior Design. It’s restful sage, lavender and taupe color palette allows for a seamless transition between the two spaces. Standout elements in this space include an exquisite Venetian mirror, bamboo “Dynasty” chair and luxurious fabrics.

These spaces are so fresh, crisp and chic. Love! Don’t you?
