“In any relationship with a realtor, trust undoubtedly needs to be at the foundation. But on the sales side, you also need someone who intrinsically understands and appreciates the history and the design/architectural elements of your home….Beyond all else, Rebecca’s most brilliant attribute in the whole process was her ability to carefully identify and update our home in ways that would better serve the appetite and needs of today’s luxury buyer, while also maintaining the home’s unique character.”

WELCOME!

San Francisco Decorator Showcase is proud to welcome you to our 45th inspiring year. The magnificent Dutch Colonial Revival house at 2898 Broadway that we are featuring was designed in 1899 by architect Walter D. Bliss. With its panoramic views of the San Francisco Bay, this spectacular home was first featured as a Decorator Showcase venue in 1989, and we are thrilled to be returning this year.

Launched in 1977, Showcase was conceived by Nan Rosenblatt, a former San Francisco University High School parent and an accomplished interior designer, and Philip Fernandez, the first president of the school’s Parents Association. Since then, the event has raised over $18 million to benefit the UHS financial aid program. Proceeds from the Decorator Showcase have provided access for hundreds of deserving, talented Bay Area students to a world-class college preparatory education.

UHS is committed to building a community that embraces the broad diversity of the San Francisco Bay Area, and as a beloved West Coast tradition and premier design event, Showcase reflects our school’s values through and through. From the designer selection process to the sponsorship and volunteering, Showcase embodies the integrity, inquiry, and purpose larger than the self that UHS strives to achieve in every endeavor. We are grateful for the camaraderie, collaboration, grace, and kindness shown across our community in launching this immense undertaking.

We want to extend a heartfelt thank you to the generosity of the Design Advisory Board for their guidance in managing the design submission process, the 28 selected design firms, UHS Head of School Matt Levinson, as well as Director of Strategic Philanthropy Shaundra Bason and the entire development team, including Elena Hobden, Thelma Garza, and Stephanie Yee.

FOLLOW US: @SFSHOWCASE AND #SFSHOWCASE

We hope that you enjoy 2898 Broadway and feel the shared passion, excitement, and commitment to the UHS student body that helps make our community so strong.

THE HISTORY OF THE BLISS ESTATE

This Dutch Colonial Revival house at the northeast corner of Broadway and Baker Street would be equally at home on the east coast of the United States or even in Amsterdam, and yet it fits perfectly overlooking the Golden Gate Bridge. Well-proportioned, with a distinctive gambrel roof, it was designed by the architectural firm Bliss & Faville for Walter Bliss’ own parents in 1899. The house was the design partnership’s first commission and it served as an excellent marketing piece for their fledgling practice. This “Gold Coast” home with its classical features, and exquisitely detailed white marble trim, gave the firm a well-received start in San Francisco.

Walter Danforth Bliss (1872-1956), a Nevadan by birth, and William Baker Faville (1866-1946), a native Californian, both traveled east to attend the architecture program at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). While the creative partnership of Bliss & Faville had its inception at MIT, they left Boston in 1895 and secured positions with the well-known New York architectural firm McKim, Mead & White.

After several years of tutelage in New York, the young architects migrated west, arriving in San Francisco in 1898 and establishing a prolific partnership that would endure for twenty-five years. Heavily influenced by the projects they worked on for McKim, Mead & White and MIT’s rigorous, classically-inspired curriculum, the work of Bliss & Faville also reflects the world-wide reach of Paris’ Ecole des Beaux Arts, the foremost architectural school of the time. In 1912, an architectural critic observed that the firm’s designs “brought credit to the status of architecture on the Pacific Coast, as well as inspiration to their brethren and pleasure to the public, who enjoy the many-sided benefits conferred by well-arranged and beautiful buildings.” 1

Their first major commission was for the St. Francis Hotel facing Union Square. After several design iterations and construction delays, the hotel finally opened in 1904. While the St. Francis burned in the 1906 earthquake the well-designed shell of the structure survived, was renovated, and reopened. Another early coup for the young firm was their winning design for Oakland’s Carnegie-funded Public

Library, beating out the firm of Havens & Toepke and wellknown architect Bernard Maybeck.

Bliss & Faville’s other significant buildings that still grace San Francisco include: the beautifully detailed Geary Theatre, 415 Geary Street (1908); the Renaissance Revival Matson Building, on Market Street (1910); the stately James Leary Flood Mansion, now home to the Schools of the Sacred Heart on Broadway (1912); the Richmond Branch, Carnegie-funded Public Library near Clement and 9th Avenue (1914); several whimsical buildings for the San Francisco World’s Fair (1915); the Southern Pacific Building at One Market Street (1916); the Metropolitan Club (19161922), which resembles a Renaissance Palazzo; one of their last commissions, the California State Building facing Civic Center Plaza (1926); and several classically-inspired, monumental bank buildings in downtown. Unfortunately, like many of their peers, a number of the firm’s early designs were lost in the 1906 earthquake.

Walter Bliss’ father, Duane Leroy Bliss, came to California in 1851 as a gold prospector, but for lack of success in the gold mines, he instead made his fortune in banking, lumber, and railroad speculation with diverse investments in Nevada, Lake Tahoe, and San Francisco. The senior Bliss formed the Carson & Tahoe Lumber & Fluming Company. He built the first railroad from Truckee to Lake Tahoe and developed the opulent, lake-front Tahoe Tavern Hotel, completed in 1901 at the railroad’s terminus, near Tahoe City. It became a haven for the San Francisco social set.

It was for Bliss’ parents that the young team of Bliss & Faville designed this elegant house, now the venue of the 2024 Decorator Showcase. The house, of brick construction, a somewhat rare building material among San Francisco’s elite homes, commands a spectacular view of the Bay. Situated on a massive concrete foundation and employing piers set into existing rock, the house was completed at a cost of approximately $20,000. The stately exterior has remained almost unchanged since it was constructed. A “Solarium” addition at the rear, from a kit by long-time conservatory makers Lord & Burnham (think Golden Gate Park Conservatory of Flowers), was installed in 1979 and affords dramatic views of the Bay. As you tour the house, you will note that the original exterior north façade can still be seen in the Solarium. The brick façade is distinguished with white marble trim and an entry porch with beautifully crafted Ionic columns, also of marble. The brick is laid in Flemish bond, with every other brick of the horizontal courses turned on its head. The effect is a unique checkerboard pattern.

Walter Bliss lived in the house he designed for his parents until he married Edith Peabody in October 1910. The couple, whose wedding ceremony was in the lovely Swedenborgian

Church on Lyon Street, honeymooned in Lake Tahoe (likely at his father’s fashionable Tahoe Tavern Hotel). Once married, the couple took up residence in another Walter Bliss-designed home at 2990 Vallejo Street, situated just downhill from his parents’ home, along the Lyon Street steps. Bliss and his new neighbor, Walter Mathews of 2980 Vallejo, also an architect, surely had fascinating conversations about San Francisco’s architecture and design.

The Bliss family, including Walter’s brother, Duane L. Bliss, Jr. continued to use the family home until 1940. The house features a dramatic, columned entrance hall extending to a spacious, redwood-paneled living room with an elaborate coffered ceiling of molded plaster. Other interior features include a beautifully carved oak fireplace with a lion’s head in the dining room, a finely detailed stairway lit by a wall of windows, whimsical half-fan windows in the street-facing upstairs bedrooms, and numerous other fine examples of woodwork and marble.

In 1951, Gregory and Marguerita Robinson purchased the house and began to update the interior. Their project included removal of the “servant stairs” and reconfiguration of the floor plan and a larger kitchen. The next owners were Harry and Margot de Wildt, who acquired the house in the early 1970s. Harry de Wildt was a native of the Netherlands, and Margot (née Hillman) was the daughter of a Pittsburgh steel magnate. Harry de Wildt was best known as “Sir Luncha-lot” for his epic outings with the likes of Herb Caen, Willie Brown, and Wilkes Bashford. The de Wildts also embarked on a series of renovations to the house, most notably building the north Solarium to enhance their Bay views.

One final fun fact: the home was featured in the Lana Turner and Sandra Dee movie Portrait in Black (1960); however, some interior scenes were filmed on a Hollywood movie set. Nonetheless, it is worth spotting this marvelous house in this classic film noir, which includes dramatic scenes of the Baker Street stairs and the rooftop dormers.

Bridget Maley is a San Francisco-based architectural historian and writer. She has worked on projects involving some of San Francisco’s most significant landmarks. Her projects also include historic buildings in many National and State Parks. Bridget has recently been researching and writing about the lost Victorian era, and opulent houses along Van Ness Avenue, including Bliss & Faville’s house for W. J. Somers.

The initial whisper of hospitality that lies beyond, it beckons visitors with its embrace, inviting them to unwind in its wonder. Every element, meticulously curated, orchestrates an atmosphere of intrigue and conviviality. It is more than mere aesthetics—it’s a canvas upon which stories unfold and connections deepen. Adorned with heirlooms and mementos, it bears witness to the stories that have graced these walls—a testament to the cherished memories that linger in the spaces between. It’s the cultivation of moments that linger long after guests have departed.

AN ENTRY TO REMEMBERTHE GRAND FOYER

As the first room you step into, such an elegant and luxurious home was in need of a glamorous entrance. The ornate trim work is highlighted with an aubergine high-gloss finish, tying into both the ceiling and paneled wallcoverings. Pops of teal, saffron and animal print complement the jewel-like tones of the room. The custom designed center table’s Viola marble top with scalloped edging sits atop a wool and silk rug and beneath a bespoke ceramic chandelier. An “Entry to Remember” invites you home and offers a glimpse of the beauty that lies within.

Special thanks to:

My Evars Collective team—thank you for your hard work and support on all facets of our business.

All my Showcase partners who so generously contributed to this room.

The San Francisco Decorator Showcase staff and Design Advisory Board who have welcomed me back again this year.

THE PERFECT ESCAPE

A 40-square-foot jewel box designed for the flirty, sassy, and romantic.

The inspiration for this entryway half bath stems from the “Gilded Age” history of this 1899 Dutch Colonial mansion. The stately dinner parties and the days of being properly courted inspired a sense of romanticism, dubbing this space “The Perfect Escape”. Situated right off the entryway, it is the perfect place to briefly disappear from the party to powder a nose, straighten a bow tie, or maybe even sneak in an intimate moment with another guest. We’ll leave that to your imagination! This flirty vibe is invigorated by Carlos Gamez de Francisco’s painting called the “Dreaming Place” hanging as an active invite. In addition, Fromental’s drippy hand-painted floral wallpaper titled “Märchen” (meaning “fairytale” in German), the hand-carved fluted marble sink, the viola mosaic marble floors, hints of polished nickel, high-gloss tiffany blue paint, and lighting that dangles like jewelry complete this romantic and sassy vibe.

Special thanks to:

My husband, sons, parents and friends for their love, support and endless encouragement. To a few advisors who championed my involvement and provided limitless support: Nancy Evars, Geoffrey De Sousa, Jeff Holt and Peter West. Thank you to my incredible team, especially Karen, who made the vision of this space come to life; and Jenny, for all the added support to our active clients and coexisting projects—I would not be able to do it all without you! This transformation would not have been possible without the incredible skill, generosity and collaboration of many artisans and vendors...thank you from the bottom of my heart: Barry Dowds-Magnitude Builders Inc., Hewn, Fromental, Jose Alvarez, WCD Wallcoverings Inc., Annie Mandelkern, Marbleline, ABC Stone, Da Vinci Marble, Ramazan Okçu, Waterworks, Carlos Gamez de Francisco, Claire Elizabeth Gallery, Dolby Chadwick, Apparatus Studio, Visual Comfort, Rossetti & Dubrae Drapery, Elan Evans, Lauren Andersen-Sen Creative, Laurie Burns, and Ink + Porcelain.

THE GRAND VERDANT HALL

An intimate setting to linger on the Main Level which, under the guise of classicism, holds a bold modernity. Simultaneously drawn in by the ‘Sand & Sea Cascading Waves’ lit glass ripples fixture by London-based Haberdashery and the sweeping Bay views just beyond. The Hall is draped in a woven tapestry textile and wrapped in Farrow & Ball Inchyra’s natural atmospheric deep green and blue tones.

Believe it or not, I designed this very same dining room when the San Francisco Decorator Showcase took place in this spectacular house in 1989 (35 years ago!).

I could not pass up the opportunity to come back for the 45th anniversary of the Showcase and reimagine this beautiful sunset-facing dining room as a then-and-now story—a chic, garden-inspired experience from daytime into nighttime—and night caps!

My team and I have honored the architecture and conjured up bleached textures, shades of greens, tones of bronze, mirrored treillage, and a quirky yet always elegant mix of furnishings and tablescapes for a contemporary world.

THE FORTUNA SALON

As prone to lucid dreaming as ecstatic clarity, the Fortuna Salon unleashes the eccentric genius to create, break, and remake the world. The fertile font of artistic, social, and intellectual endeavors, it reenvisions nineteenth-century aesthetics through a contemporary prism, expressing daedal inner visions in its ornate detailing, majestic contours, and rich palette. Antique mahogany and saligna, cast bronze and iron, and verre églomisé and Murano glass gild curule forms, intricate carvings, and elaborate incisions, faceting the magical consciousness of experimentation.

Special thanks to:

Above all else, an enormous thanks to the Chroma design team. Thank you Victor, Jaidyn, Jennifer, Lindsay, Emily, and Summer. Thank you to the Decorator Showcase Design Advisory Board, San Francisco University High School staff and volunteers for your steadfast support and for bringing this beautiful event to life.

THE FORTUNA SOLARIUM

A sanctum of rest, rites, and rituals of care, the Fortuna Solarium illumines the sacred space of the psyche—sprawling in emblazoned hours, lazily viewing feverish dusks, with gorgeous Golden Gate vistas. Channeling the sensuous sway of light, color, and texture on the body, lush mohair, rich velvet, and satinwoods seduce the space, flourished by polished bronze, gilded lacquer, and vibrant polychrome. A Jacques Adnet sofa, paired chauffueses, and custom Chroma works cocoon the space, a chrysalis for ascendence to a higher plane.

ELYSIAN GAZE

As I entered the primary suite and gazed upon the breathtaking view, my heart skipped a beat. It is not often that one can simultaneously take in the Golden Gate Bridge and the serene Palace of Fine Arts. Our design intent was to offer a modern reinterpretation of its Greek and Roman romanticism, achieving a delicate balance between classic aesthetics and contemporary minimalism.

Modern furnishings introduce a contemporary edge, while classic paneling grounds the design. The room is adorned with custom, neutral toned wallpaper. Handpainted vertical lines allude to abstract columns. The falling branches, leaves, and flowers, subtly evoke the picturesque vista beyond. Bespoke furnishings, curved forms and organic shapes elicit comfort, luxury, and exude sumptuousness.

Special thanks to:

My dedicated Team PDC who have tirelessly supported me throughout; I have no words to truly express my gratitude.

FORMA Construction who partnered with us from start to finish, in bringing our vision to life. This would not have been possible without their kind support and encouragement. de Gournay wallpaper for understanding our vision and painting it so beautifully.

SERENE SOAK

The breathtaking view that unfolds outside is echoed within the en-suite bathroom where contrasting finishes, and custom and vintage furnishings converge to craft an atmosphere of intentional beauty and style. The centerpiece, a terracotta-colored concrete tub, is framed by a sleek glass and metal wing wall—a modern nod to the classic grandeur of the Palace of Fine Arts. Walls cloaked in espresso-colored lime plaster exude a rich, earthy warmth, setting a luxurious backdrop while Murano sconces and mirrors found at the Paris Flea Market add a touch of shimmer.

Every soak is an indulgence in this tranquil space.

This wardrobe is not just a space, but an escape—a haven where tranquility meets design. Each element has been meticulously selected to create an immersive experience. The luxurious Alcantara ultrasuede in Sunburn from Italy wraps the space in warmth, while the rich Tecno Surface Walnut cabinets, adorned with bronzed glass from Parma, add depth and sophistication. The linear fluting of the Dekton Ukiyo in Umber introduces a serene elegance, perfectly harmonized with the enchanting, multidimensional artwork by Kate Tova. Illuminated by carefully placed LED lights, every compartment transforms garment selection from a mundane task into a tranquil, effortless ritual, offering a daily respite from the outside world.

DUO - A ROOM FOR TWO

“He remembered where his bedroom window was, when there was a moon. It was always right around the moon. And then Harold made his bed.”

– Harold and the Purple Crayon, by Crocket Johnson

Inspired by Harold and the Purple Crayon, Duo, A Room for Two is a gender and age neutral children’s room evoking creativity, resourcefulness, and whimsy. Duo offers an opportunity for its inhabitant(s) to grow with the room without outgrowing the space. Peppered with meaningful art that inspires, Duo sneaks in life lessons for growing minds. Harold’s magnificent creativity is captured in Porter Teleo’s Form wallpaper meandering and cocooning around and above. Center stage behind the bordeaux velvet curtains lies a safe space to dream of adventures yet to come.

Special thanks to:

Romayssa Nazih—A remarkable team member and person who is dedicated to pushing Cusp Interiors forward. I thank my lucky stars for you.

Porter Teleo—For creating inspiring hand-painted wallcoverings that brought my vision to life. My clients—For trusting me in making your home uniquely yours. Thank you for giving me the opportunities to get to Duo.

My vendors—For being so skilled at what you do and translating scribbles and inspo images to precise, stunning works of art. Forever amazed by your talent.

A BIRD’S-EYE VIEW

“A Bird’s-Eye View” bathroom design takes on an organic modern aesthetic, harmonizing with the picturesque San Francisco Bay views just outside. Textural elements and tone-on-tone color schemes create a serene ambiance, while small repeat patterns add subtle intrigue. Sustainability is a key principle, evident in the creative repurposing of the existing vanity through a vinyl coating typically used for vehicle wraps, showcasing a deep teal gray hue inspired by the Nash Design Group logo.

Departing from conventional white, the design incorporates thick grout joints in a rich brick red tone, highlighting the pale pink textural ceramic tiles sourced from Da Vinci Marble. This unconventional choice underscores the versatility of color in design, while maintaining cohesion with the Nash Design Group’s branding palette of gray teal and soft pinks.

Special thanks to:

Collaboration with skilled artisans and reputable suppliers such as Carroll Custom Homes, Decorative Plumbing Supply, Alphawerks Garage, Rothwood Custom Woodworking, Smith Drapery, art by Krista Skehan, Derek Marshall Wallpaper Installer, NOIR Trading, and products from Evars Collective ensures meticulous attention to detail and the highest quality craftsmanship.

THE STUDY BY JAY JEFFERS WITH WILLEM RACKÉ

Is there any space more emblematic of the 2020s than a home office? But work shouldn’t be dull and neither should our workspaces. We dreamed of a study brimming with style and creativity, layering elements that combine traditional finishes, materials, and forms in unexpected ways—from Willem Racké’s bold faux-bois, collage-like ceiling treatment inspired by Lewis Kemmenoe’s Patchwork Cabinet; to Brent Warr’s playfully exaggerated reimagining of the Victorian wingback chair in his signature mix of plaster, paper, and pulp; to the sublime combination of verdigris and wicker in Chris Wolston’s side chair. Though we embrace the work of modern artisans, we firmly believe that every space should incorporate pieces from the past, such as the pair of Denis chairs from Guillerme et Chambron. Lime-painted walls and trim create a subtly textured backdrop, while elegant window coverings and upholstery from Romo add a layer of luxury. But a home office must also be functional, and the Domain desk from Ted Boerner and Andon Alchemy desk lamp from Joseph Pagano prove that functional design need not sacrifice style.

Special thanks to:

Willem Racké for his beautiful ceiling treatment and lime-painted walls.

Jenn Sharp and Victoria Nady, Principal Designers at JayJeffers—and my entire team who work tirelessly to make the world more beautiful!

Frederic Henry and everyone at Romo for their stunning fabrics used exclusively in our room.

TO THE DARK AND THE ENDLESS SKIES

The first time ever I saw your face, I thought the sun rose in your eyes, and the moon and the stars were the gifts you gave, to the dark and the endless skies, my love, to the dark and the endless skies.

- Roberta Flack, “The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face” from her debut album “First Take” recorded over 10 hours in February 1969 (lyrics by Ewan MacColl)

This bedroom is a retreat where memories and music intertwine to create a haven for reflection and renewal. A patchwork stitched bedspread provides warmth with the craftwork of a human hand evident in its production, and the russet-colored shag below you grounds the space in softness. The walls, wrapped in weathered florals, evoke the patina of time and envelop the room in the quiet history of this old home. Filtered light streams in through a south-facing window, and at the heart of it all stands a thoughtfully crafted stereo cabinet playing vinyl records in a rich walnut shell. The vintage receiver embedded within emits a familiar blue glow that feels akin to another soul sitting, listening with you. Music is a bridge between past and present, historical events, and personal milestones. Every note is a thread woven into the fabric of the soul.

Special thanks to:

A killer human, Caleb Morris, for his incredible partnership, loyalty, talent, and sick humor. You’re a design beast and a beautiful soul.

Thelma and Stephanie for wrangling cats and getting us all to the finish line.

Geoffrey De Sousa for nudging and believing in us always.

THE OBSERVATORY

The Observatory is a lush around-the-clock space that flexes as the sun travels along the panoramic folding glass wall from morning to evening. Coffee in the morning, a quiet study during the day, board games after school, watching the boats traverse the bay, and stargazing at dusk. We stained the oak paneling a warm moody blue to absorb the horizon, and filled the room with several comfortable corners to focus on the view of the San Francisco Bay.

LAUNDRY

Laundry rooms are unfortunately sometimes overlooked in design. It’s a space that requires a lot of function, storage, and ease of use.

Conveniently located on the top floor, the laundry room is fit for the grandeur of this home.

Visual Comfort

I wanted to incorporate classic design elements and plenty of function and storage. To save floor space and allow for a much-needed laundry sink, I chose to stack the washer and dryer. Special delicate items are able to hang dry above the custom carved marble laundry sink. Brooms and vacuum have a home as well as other needed bulk items.

A special built in dog crate was created in matching cabinetry for our furry friends to have a comfortable get away. Custom grating adds a special bow WOW!

For the playful element, the waterjet marble mosaic floor and the animal wallcovering makes you know this is no everyday laundry!

LANDING LOUNGE

We transformed this transitional space between rooms into a cozy lounge that begs you to pause and rest. Beautiful warm oak flooring from Hakwood sets the foundation, while wrap-around seating, clad in Rose Tarlow for Perennials performance fabric, invites relaxation amidst art-adorned walls. San Francisco artist Windy Chien’s rope installation adds texture and modernity. Our marble plinth-turned-planter brings the outdoors in, and custom-designed coffee table and console introduce playful asymmetry. We used our space as an opportunity to showcase the talents of the artists and artisans we collaborate with on our projects.

Special thanks to:

SAMANTHA’S STUDY

Samantha’s Study was designed as a place to spark creativity and allow peak productivity during the day. At night, it transforms into the perfect place to enjoy a glass of champagne by the fire. We chose a serene color palette and incorporated a mix of antiques, contemporary furniture along with a few hand-beaded pieces. The wallpaper covers the entire room to make it feel tailored and sophisticated. A curvy desk and comfortable work chair allow for a productive day. Samantha’s Study is both practical and inspiring.

A VAULTED JEWEL

Inspired to turn a once confined and antiquated dormer into a radiant retreat, MCD has created a bath crowned with a beautifully tiled vaulted ceiling reminiscent of the grandeur of Rome’s Baths of Diocletian. Delicately placed, handcrafted Italian tiles grace the newly installed barrel and groin ceiling, showcasing the unparalleled craftsmanship of Bay Area artisans. Tailored to provide a fully immersive wet room experience, this remarkable bathroom radiates rejuvenation and relaxation worthy of its landmark status.

A family kitchen taking inspiration from the classic details of a British Manor house. Culinary Calm is tucked under the roofline balancing a classic sense of style with an air of simplicity. The skylight dramatically washes the space in light while the historic dormered windows give a sense of place. This expansive room is designed for: enjoying the art of cooking, gathering around the island with a cup of tea or glass of wine, chatting with kids as they eat breakfast, and finding the perfect midnight snack. A grand skylight is central to the layout and the generously scaled island anchors the design. Shaker style cabinetry, vintage inspired lighting, custom decorative cabinet hardware, and 3cm soapstone countertops give a sense of grounded elegance to the design. The cabinets are a rich slate blue complemented by warm wood tones and soft lime washed walls. The beautiful historic windows look out on the treelined garden below and if you get close enough, you may just glimpse the tips of the Golden Gate Bridge in the distance. This room was made possible through a collaboration between Perez Construction and Chantal Lamberto Interior Design.

“All things change, nothing is extinguished. There is nothing in the whole world which is permanent. Everything flows onward; all things are brought into being with a changing nature; the ages themselves glide by in constant movement.”

– Ovid, Metamorphoses

The Rotunda is a space of transformation – of movement and change. A gentle swirling motion emanates from the dome overhead, dissolving the walls into billowing folds. A mirror attracts visitors, then the subtle turning sensation rotates them on their path of travel. Deep in the heart of this historic house this small gyre softly agitates.

PURPLE HAZE

Exotic marble and stone have long been the hallmark of elegance, defining Italian architecture and design over the centuries. Inspired by our passion for mixing materials, color, music, and art, we created a jewel box Powder Room, nestled downstairs below the main floor. The vanity, adorned with glamorous pink onyx, is complemented by an exquisite purple marbled mural that envelops the room.

The design blends the old-world glamor of Rome with our signature rebellious edge, resulting in a space that evokes both elegance and attitude. Completing the space, a curated playlist of tunes creates ambiance and enhances the experience of a private moment.

Special thanks to:

My team of rock stars—Despina Craig, Marla Shrank, Abbie Nash, Christopher Roy and Ivy Christianson—you keep all of the pieces together daily.

Greg Cook—you stepped in and without question helped me with this project. I am forever grateful.

Nicole Balin—you believe in me and have done more for me than you know—I would not be doing this Showcase without your motivation and support.

PEGGY’S ART ATELIER

Welcome to a room that embodies the vibrant essence of modernist elegance intertwined with playful antiques and designed to ignite the spirit of modern art. The walls, crafted in textured plaster, exude a sense of character, embracing the depth within a rich palette.

Inspired by Peggy Guggenheim, a visionary and advocate for contemporary art, her spirit infuses the room’s essence as a curator and patron of groundbreaking artists. Inspired by her fearless promotion of the avant-garde, our space aims to bring forth a symbiotic relationship between art and living.

Guggenheim’s passion for modernism resonates, yet her collection’s unique inclusion of tribal and indigenous art reflects an intersection between diverse cultures and artistic expressions. We paired “non-Western” objects with modernist pieces, for a presentation of the current artists who will be the collector of tomorrow. Join us in embracing art and immersing yourself in its transformative essence, elevating modern living spaces for the modern-day lady boss to connect with her curated collection and literary treasures.

Special thanks to:

Our inspiring clients, who allow us to create beauty, do what we love, and practice our passion.

The ballonSTUDIO design team; Aishanie Marwah Bhatt, Dee Pearce, Jordan Pyers, Vanessa Mello, and Meryl Chaum.

Much appreciation to Jenny Bittner Borden for her invaluable guidance. Greg Cook and Katharine Moodie at Cook Construction. University High School and the San Francisco Decorator Showcase staff, Stephanie and Thelma. Jacques Callies from Bright on Presidio to light our beautiful space.

Terry McLaughlin from Carlisle Flooring for graciously donating the wood flooring. Alejandro Olivares and Alex’s Workroom, true experts in rug manipulation.

Our family at All Ways Delivery for putting up with our shenanigans.

And Caleb Morris, the best damn designer this side of the Mississippi.

A MEDITATION ROOM WITH EMBEDDED INTENTIONS

Beyond its visual beauty, this serene space offers a multisensory, transformative experience. I first encountered Fromental’s “Haiku” wallcovering in Paris where, amid garden views, it evoked a sense of peace, as well as brought to mind poetry and intentional moments. In a Showcase room overlooking the San Francisco Bay, the motif—inspired by nature and the ancient art of Japanese brush painting—backdrops soulful surroundings layered with meaningful details such as the bamboo wall blessed by Thai monks. Centered on well-being, this is a place to partake in a sound bath, meditation, a tea ceremony, or plant music. The hope is that, after spending time here, the home’s occupants can step out into the world relaxed, restored, and recharged.

Special thanks to:

This Showcase concept embodies the ideas captured in my new book, The Soul of Design. The room is truly a labor of love made possible by so many amazing supporters and collaborators, including:

• Fromental: Tim Butcher and his company not only delivered on the wallcovering, but also ensured a stress-free process.

• Deven Gadula: I have worked with his flooring company, First, Last & Always, for more than 25 years.

• Kevin Christison: An inspiring, creative collaborator, my relationship with his studio dates to the beginning of my design career.

• Meg Withgott: The drawings and renderings by her talented team at Panafold—with whom I also have a longtime relationship—were invaluable.

• Geoffrey De Sousa: A guiding light in our design community, his belief in me has been a source of strength.

• The San Francisco Decorator Showcase Design Advisory Board, staff, and volunteers, as well as the sponsors and vendors (notably, general contractor Greg Cook of Cook Construction).

Last but not least, thank you to my clients and team—for trusting me and serving as an inspiration, day in and day out.

THE AUDEN GUEST SUITE - BATHROOM

The Auden Guest Suite Bathroom is designed with the most discerning guest in mind. Bold design choices, which refer back to the bedroom in both subtle and overt ways, create a sensory experience for any guest. Marble mosaic tile references the Stamp wallpaper with both its colors and repeating pattern and the dynamic green ceramic tile offers an unexpected pop of color and helps to bring the shower to life. The customdesigned sink in a leathered Calacatta Viola marble once again explores the balance between classical materials and contemporary execution. Sculptural light fixtures, polished nickel fixtures and inlaid bone mirror further add to the indulgent nature of this petite guest bathroom.

Special thanks to:

Our incredible LARK+PALM design team, without whom we would not be here. You rose to the occasion with the energy and enthusiasm we see from you every day. To our wonderful vendors, craftspeople, and skilled trades: you are amazing, nothing in this room would have been possible without your hard work, donations and commitment to our vision. Grateful doesn’t begin to describe how we feel to have you all in our corner. Finally, a huge thank you to the Decorator Showcase Design Advisory Board, San Francisco University High School staff and volunteers for continuing to make this a spectacular annual event.

THE QUIET QUARTERS

Every interior has its own story to tell.

In our pursuit of creating a distinctive ambiance, we’ve taken a fresh approach to a guest room design. Drawing inspiration from the misty charm of San Francisco and the serene beauty of nature, our color palette serves as a harmonious counterpoint to the bustling energy of city life. The result is an atmosphere that lingers in the memory, leaving a lasting impression on all who visit.

Within our quiet enclave, guests will discover a small kitchen and lounge area, offering the freedom to unwind and embrace a dreamy forest-inspired vibe. We’ve carefully curated a blend of new and vintage elements, from mural wallpaper to the timeless elegance of natural stone. Additionally, we’ve incorporated pieces crafted by local artisans, adding a touch of authenticity and warmth to our surroundings.

Special thanks to:

First and foremost the UHS Decorator Showcase Design Advisory Board, volunteers, and staff. Stephanie Yee for her everyday smile, and for making the whole process so smooth and enjoyable.

All of our partners and vendors who contributed their time and effort.

Our clients and friends who made this year possible; your support and grace kept our spirits high.

All the designers participating in this year and in the past; it’s been the biggest privilege to see your passion, commitment, and endless creativity.

My supportive and loving family in every moment!

THE ANGLER’S HIDEAWAY

This sophisticated city dweller finds rejuvenation in mountain towns and river valleys, where she caught the bug for fly fishing and this is her spot to perch, daydream, and be immersed in all of the things that drew her into the sport. It’s slow, meditative, and quiet until it’s not (’til the fish bites). The sound of a river running is hypnotic, and the colors are rich. The textures abound from smooth water, craggy rocks, spiky grass, to of course, slick speckled trout. There is a certain dichotomy of elegance and ruggedness to fly fishing, as there is to this space. The green textured wallpaper is a bridge between the walls and the tops of the trees just outside the window, which peers across the Bay to the wilderness of the Marin Headlands. You’ll see leather elements, a burl bookshelf, a chair upholstered in a bark-like pattern. You’ll also see soft, plush velvets, a sleek, Italian walnut desk, and a fine custom wool rug inviting us in to take a pause, take in the view, and slow down.

Special thanks to:

The Showcase Design Advisory Board, staff, and volunteers, especially Stephanie Yee and Thelma Garza for being the ringleaders of this wildly fun circus!

Jay Jeffers for giving me my start in design back in the day, and Kelly Hohla for teaching me everything I know. I learned from the best!

Missy Smit for your support.

My wonderful vendors for your cooperation in getting things done. Mark Nelson—your hustle is unmatched and I appreciate it so much. Doreen Leong—your beautiful craftsmanship always completes a space.

My trusting clients for allowing us to curate and create their most cherished spaces.

Evgenia Merson and the Lark+Palm ladies, for being so cooperative throughout this process. My friends and family for your encouragement and enthusiasm.

Colin for being my mountain town adventure partner. I don’t love fly fishing nearly as much as you do, but your unmatched passion for it was my muse.

THE AUDEN GUEST SUITE - BEDROOM

Inspired by the poem “For Friends Only” by W.H. Auden, L+P designed this guest bedroom for the well-traveled guest, a special friend to the home. One who stays and imprints one’s energy onto the space, creating a richness of experience for each future visit; surrounded by well-curated objects and sophisticated finishes, inspiration and refuge are immediate.

L+P took full advantage of this petite space by enveloping the room with the ‘stamp’ wallpaper, which contributes to both the whimsical and storied side of this room. The combination of contemporary shapes and vintage pieces emphasize the intentionally collected aesthetic. A custom linen and mohair headboard anchor the space and provide a beautiful backdrop for the fresh and luxurious linens. Rich, warm tones are juxtaposed with energizing, cooler hues with the unexpected ceiling and millwork color. The custom, floating shelves and desk highlight the architecture of the room and continue the conversation between balance of the contemporary and classic. The Auden Guest Bedroom is a place any guest will be delighted to return time and again.

LOWER LEVEL EXIT HALLWAY UNIVERSITY HIGH SCHOOL FACULTY ARTISTS

Lisa Carroll

An Oakland, California based artist and educator, I earned an MFA at Stanford University in 1998 and have been teaching art at San Francisco University High School since 2014. My art practice is devoted to immersing myself in the natural world and visually transcribing this intangible yet palpable experience through paint, ink, pencil, collage, found object, and installations. My intention with the process and outcome of each piece is to weave myself into the natural world, building connection and relationship to material and place. The work is non-representational abstraction, intuitive and physical; a potential portal for the viewer to engage their own relational stories.

Nikhil Paladugu

Nikhil is a practicing sculptor exploring the relationship between tradition and industry, often employing craft techniques such as kintsugi or dovetail joints to highlight the act of repair and redefine notions of beauty. His formal influences include neuroscience, East Asian Art histories, and contemporary ceramic sculpture.

BREAKTHROUGH SUMMERBRIDGE SAN FRANCISCO

Breakthrough Summerbridge is a tuition-free, year-round, summer-intensive academic enrichment and advocacy program. We support highly motivated, traditionally underrepresented students to achieve post-secondary success, and recruit, inspire, and develop the next generation of educators and youth advocates. Located within San Francisco University High School (UHS), we are the original site and inspiration for the Breakthrough Collaborative, which now includes a network of 25 a liates throughout the United States. In our over 45-year history, we have transformed the lives of over 1,700 Bay Area middle school students and provided a teaching foundation to over 650 high school and college-aged aspiring teachers.

Breakthrough Summerbridge has advanced three primary goals:

1. Preparing ambitious middle school students from under-resourced circumstances to enter and thrive in well-matched high schools, for the purpose of securing admission to, succeeding in, and graduating from college.

2. Providing intensive summer teaching fellowships for high school and college students who are passionate about the power of education, and creating meaningful volunteer

experiences throughout the academic year for members of the UHS and San Francisco communities.

3. Transforming lives through the unique and powerful relationship between the Breakthrough Summerbridge and UHS communities and their families.

QUICK FACTS (SUMMER 2023):

• 62% of Breakthrough Summerbridge students met or exceeded grade level pro ciency in reading (compared to 51% nationally)

• 80% met or exceeded grade level pro ciency in math (compared to 47% nationally)

• 78% of our student participants reported forming strong relationships with their Teaching Fellows.

• 80% of our Teaching Fellows reported a likelihood of pursuing a career in education.

• 95% of the students and Teaching Fellows identi ed as people of color.

• 95% of Breakthrough Summerbridge 9th Graders entered high performing, college preparatory high schools.

AFTER-SCHOOL ENRICHMENT (ASE) 2022-2023:

In partnership with UHS, Breakthrough Summerbridge piloted a class called Boom Dynamite! Twenty-one UHS juniors and seniors are enrolled in this course where they are trained to be teaching fellows in our program. Our 7th and 8th graders take a STEM and literacy project-based learning course taught by our UHS teaching fellows. Teaching Fellows show con dence in planning and implementing engaging lessons, and students share that they enjoy the ASE programing. Positive teacher-student relationships continue to be formed.

BREAKTHROUGH SUMMERBRIDGE’S THREE COMPLEMENTARY PROGRAMS

1 The Summer Program: three-year academic summer program at University High School which prepares students for success at a rigorous college preparatory high school

2 After School Enrichment Class: STEM and Literacy project-based enrichment class once a week during the school year

3 High School Placement Advising: a high school options course that includes high school application support

SAN FRANCISCO UNIVERSITY HIGH SCHOOL

We are guided by both our Mission and our Equity & Community Statements:

OUR MISSION STATEMENT

San Francisco University High School welcomes students of demonstrated motivation and ability to engage in an education that fosters responsibility and the spirited pursuit of knowledge. We are a school where adults believe in the promise of every student, and together we work to build and sustain a community of diverse backgrounds, perspectives, and talents. UHS challenges each individual to live a life of integrity, inquiry, and purpose larger than the self.

EQUITY & COMMUNITY STATEMENT

At UHS, we believe that the deepest learning requires collaboration among people who embody a diversity of backgrounds, beliefs, experiences, and perspectives. In order to build and sustain a community that is comprised of a wide range of social and cultural identities, we must continually engage in furthering our self-knowledge, equity literacy, and ability to communicate effectively across differences. We challenge ourselves to do this work on both a personal and an institutional level, recognizing that our community is part of a larger and more complex world.

OUR HISTORY

The founders of San Francisco University High School believed in the educational value of diversity and pluralism, imagining a school that drew upon the exciting variety and resources of San Francisco and that developed creative, capable, and socially responsible leaders. They envisioned a school that would achieve both equity and excellence, encompassing the arts, academics, athletics, and community engagement. Nearly 50 years since its founding, the catalytic vision for the school has produced generations of graduates who have distinguished themselves by making meaningful contributions in all sectors of society, and in doing so, built an outstanding reputation for the school.

The school continues to strive to meet this ambitious plan. Students and faculty are drawn to the school for its strong academic program, its culture of inquiry and intellectual energy, its robust athletic and arts programs, and its commitment to supporting student success. With our core values of inquiry, care, integrity, agency, and interconnection, UHS continues to be a place of continuous learning and growth. UHS is at the forefront of changing high school culture, affirming our fundamental commitment to intellectual challenge and vitality while simultaneously responding to the demands and opportunities of tomorrow.

EMBODYING our fundamental belief that collaboration among people with diverse backgrounds and life experiences is essential to deep learning
