We visit the San Francisco Decorator Showcase every year, and we always leave inspired! This year marks their 35th anniversary, and it certainly did not disappoint. The home, a Classic Revival estate in the heart of Pacific Heights, has been transformed by a group of over 30 top designers. Fun fact: this historic mansion was actually the site of a previous decorator showcase in 1991!-
The floral designs inside and out are outstanding. This living wall is part of the entry garden designed by Davis Dalbok of Living Green. We couldn’t resist the group photo opportunity!

The fashion blogger’s office, designed by Catherine Kwong, features luxurious silk-lined drapery and upholstered walls. We were particularly blown away by the attention to detail in many of the rooms. The custom window treatments, upholstery, wall coverings, and lighting throughout the house are truly inspired.

The master bedroom, designed by Heather Hilliard Design, is exquisitely serene and sophisticated. Wide horizontal stripes were painted along the walls and continue seamlessly along the custom-made headboard. Rich blues in the curtains and sofa along with the painting over the fireplace add just the right splash of color. Photos by Michele Lee Willson Photography.

We loved this oversized sofa with nailhead trim in The Media Room. The giant headboard and gray hair-on-hide fabric wallpaper from Élitis are both eye-catching and sound muffling – perfect for a movie night! This room was designed by Amy Weaver of Weaver Design Group. Photo from MercuryNews.com

The Gentelman’s Study, or “The Pavonia Room,” was inspired by the recent “Cult of Beauty” exhibit at the Legion of Honor. The room features a stunning hand-blown glass chandelier suspended over a covetable geometric desk. The Pavonia Room was designed by Geoffrey De Sousa and Robin Sussillo of Geoffrey De Sousa Interior Design. Image on the left by Alex Amend Photography.

The open plan kitchen and lounge were designed by Green Couch Interior Design. We loved how they brightened the rooms by painting over the red bricks. Photos from Green Couch.
