Kelley Moore’s San Francisco Flat

I’ve mentioned before that through blogging I have met the most amazing people. One such person is Kelley Moore. Kelly’s a designer, party planner and lifestyle guru. Her amazing career has had her on the go. You may have seen her on Rachel Ray, The Nate Berkus Show or even her own show, Moore to Life in Seattle!  Recently she moved to San Francisco to be the Home and Lifestyle Anchor at Joyus. Do you remember when I participated in Joyus’ designer challenge? Through the experience Kelley and I became friends. I’m telling you, she is an amazing person. Love her!

I was thrilled to see Kelley’s new San Francisco flat that she designed so beautifully featured in Rue Magazine’s October issue. It’s a home that inviting and has a wonderfully curated feel. Kelley also brilliantly blends pattern, textures and bold color (even red). Here’s a peek at the stunning interior:

San Francisco Showcase: Her Office by Catherine Kwong

On the second level just off the master suite at the 2012 San Francisco Decorator Showcase, interior designer, Catherine Kwong creates an elegant, contemporary and très chic home office. The room’s design was inspired by San Francisco’s fashion bloggers. “I set out to create a dream office – complete with pinup boards for tear sheets and look books and, of course, a custom closet to display a truly inspirational wardrobe”  Kwong adds.

The stunning “Cortes” desk by Julian Chichester is wrapped in hand-dyed black vellum and sits on a gilded steel base. Adding a pop of color, Kwong pairs this desk with an orange 1960s “Bird” Chair designed by Preben Fabricius and Jorgen Kastholm. Luxe upholstered wall is Holly Hunt’s “Two Sides: Charcoal” and Benjamin Moore’s Iron Mountain blanket the walls and create a dramatic backdrop. While a large photograph, “Backstage at Pierre Balmain – Paris, 1954 #7” by Mark Shaw and a chandelier by Blackman Cruz demand a second look.

Mixing a little old with the new, Kwong places a 1920’s French art deco lamp designed by Eileen Gray and a chrome and 1940’s black letter holder on the desk.
