On Wednesday, I went to check out the Decorator Showcase in Pacific Heights. Built in 1910 by architect Nathaniel Blaisdell, the grandiose four-story Georgian mansion with a red brick facade and white trim is hard not to miss. I look forward to the month-long event every year. 

It's hard to choose my favorite rooms, (there were so many I loved) but here are a few standouts:

Taxidermy

The front entry by Nicole Hollis

Table-ben    
Her study by Benjamin Dhong

Desk
The desk in Her Study

I love this canopy! It's such a great idea and a creative way to define the desk area.


Teenagersroom

Teenage daughter's room by Palmer Weiss

The palette in this room is so pretty. I like the mix of glamour with a hint of casual elegance. 

Master

The Master Suite by Cecile Starin

So chic. I love the bed and the folding screen behind it. 

Through May 25th, 2830 Pacific Ave., (between Divisadero and Broderick); All proceeds benefit the financial aid program at San Francisco University High School.

Thanks for posting these beautiful photos. I waited to see what Nicole Hollis will create- she is so talented!
Did you take any photos of Anastasia Faiella's work? she is also one of my favorites.

Love the teenager daughter's room. It's a bed AND a couch. Most beautiful and practical daybed I've seen. Genius.

Most of the house was extra special this year. Congrats to all designers!

A month has passed since I visited, but the penthouse suite continues to stand out in my mind as the best of the house. Heather Hilliard Design did a fantastic job of incorporating an inspired color palette (taken from Golden Gate views, the aqua hues of the bay, etc.) with her classic and timeless style.

LOVED IT!
