San Francisco Decorator Showcase 2013: Catherine Kwong


This years San Francisco Decorator Showcase is a beautiful mix of old and new with an emphasis on a unique set of juxtaposed details thanks to Catherine Kwong and the other talented designers.   Catherine designed the Living area of this amazing home and I love this space just as much as I loved her own beautiful home!

Catherine Kwong designs a decadent
rock 'n roll hideaway for the 2013 San Francisco Decorator Showcase.
With custom furnishings and an emphasis on luxe materials, Catherine
Kwong brings her signature elegance and modern point of view to create
a grand living room.
“The design was inspired by Mick and Bianca Jagger in the 1970’s - the
young and wild, traipsing-to-Saint Tropez years,” said Catherine Kwong.
“I was doing research for a client and discovered all of these beautiful old
photos of Mick and Bianca that depicted a wild romance. They were
impossibly stylish and full of excitement, with a bit of scandal, of course.
So I designed this room for them; a place for late-night parties with rock
royalty and the jet-set. I wanted the room to be just like Mick and Bianca:
luxe and decadent, but with a rock 'n roll edge.”
The star of the room is the dramatic painted floor, which serves as a rich
canvas for the room’s artful mix of luxurious textures, details and lines.
Inspired by the iconic paintings of Cy Twombly, the floor was
hand-painted in exuberant brushstrokes by decorative painting firm,
Stancil Studios.

Dark and detailed, I am completely in love..










From the very first picture I was in love.  The color scheme is dark and moody and I love it!  It feels so very fall.  I have been leaning towards lighter design lately but I know my true love when I see it and this is some of my favorite color inspiration.  Not to mention the mix of industrial and vintage - so amazing!

Wishing you a wonderful Saturday!

The House of Windsor: Veranda




Some gorgeous peaks at the interiors of The House of Windsor by Veranda.  It looks amazing.  As it should, the designers were a complete who's who of the design industry.  

It is open now to the public Thursday thru Sunday until the end of July.  

I am loving that kitchen and the flooring in the entry.  

Check out more here from Joni at Cote De Texas too.

Temps Perdu Art pieces by Robert Biggs








I came across these amazing pieces while looking at the Hamptons Designer Show house in Traditional Home.  I love these!  

'Temps Perdu" in French translates to "lost time" or "things past" from Marcel Proust's famous novel.  It's an apt moniker for Biggs' artwork that are assembled from antique French ephemera: playbills, music scores, personal letters, calling cards. Each is constructed using the ancient art of Origami, used in a new and unexpected way.  Presented in an understated painted wood frame...

Veranda Show House at SoHo Mews by John Saladino

























John Saladino used the art piece Girl with a Pearl Earring by Johannes Vermeer as the inspiration for the show house for Veranda. I just love the use of color here. Amazing. I think my favorite part is the picture of the stairs.
