EDITOR’S LETTER

TERESA RODRIGUEZ EDITOR-IN-CHIEF HAUTE LIVING SAN FRANCISCO TERESA@HAUTELIVINGSF.COM WWW.HAUTELIVINGSF.COM

WELCOME TO 2023! THE WORLD HAS OPENED UP, AND WE ARE BACK TO OUR frenetic pace of pre-pandemic speed. So, when it came time to create the editorial lineup, going back to the home made perfect sense. While we all enjoy our new freedoms of travel and evenings dining with friends, there is nothing more wonderful than coming home to a beautifully appointed house.

In this issue, we turn our sights to the latest trends in home and design. Laurie Jo Miller Farr speaks to some of San Francisco’s top designers about the Pantone color of the year and the role of color in 2023 (page 32). We also glimpse the latest lighting trends (page 58) and closet systems as magical as those in the Lion, Witch, and the Wardrobe.

Of course, we still have a bit of wanderlust prowling through our veins, so come with us as we step inside three utterly gorgeous villas in wine country that feel like they are worlds away but are just up the road in St. Helena, Calistoga, and Kenwood (page 48). Planning on traveling to the South? Charleston Place Hotel is ready to surprise and delight guests with incredible amenities and services (page 52).

From mansions with Andrea Bocelli to penthouses in Nob Hill, we got a glimpse into the rarefied world of San Francisco’s most respected and beloved individuals.

Pour yourself a cup of tea, snuggle into your favorite cozy chair, and enjoy the many articles in this Home and Design issue. On the go? You can find our content online at HauteLivingSF.com, which includes many exclusive features only online.
