(London.CityRegions.com, May 07, 2013 ) England, UK -- The 2013 San Francisco Decorator Showcase took place this year and was both provocative and elegant, as it so often is.
The new year's edition of the event displayed many styles and concepts by dozens of Bay Area designers. Each of the designers was given the chance to a space assigned in the Gerbst Manor. The property is a grand Georgian mansion at the top of the Pacific Heights and is open for the public to visit throughout May. The proceeds go to scholarship programs from San Francisco University High School.
"My design was a lot about editing," says Catherine Kwong. The designer stripped the living room to make room room for the gallery while keeping the already established gilded ceiling. The room had a black-and-white backstage photo of dancers on the wall, while the floor was strikingly painted.
"This was inspired by my favorite Cy Twombly painting," Kwong says of the ebony floor that has been covered with swirls of white and gray paint by Stancil Studios. "The floor was really the foundation of the entire design, and though I had plans for more furniture, I just kept removing things in order to let it shine. Given the information overload in the rest of our lives, I think we're all feeling the need to declutter our personal spaces."
Matthew Leverone took the concept of declutter a step farther. The designer painted out the molding around several floor-to-ceilings in the adjacent room to Kwong.
Heather Hilliard was given the dining room, and she utilized Cerulean squiggles in a painting to offset the remaining black, white, and crème theme that defined the color theme of her room. "I could have gone a more traditional route, but it really felt like this room should be lightened up," she says. "Black and white feels so fresh now."
Comfortable furniture that included a leather club chair in the family room, as well as a custom-made farm table that was surrounded by flea-market chairs was on tap for the main living area. "Given that this room is at the back of the house, I wanted it to have everything you'd need so it felt like a place you could settle in," says Alison Davin, Jute's principal designer.
