When two great organizations collaborate to present homes for viewing, the results are nothing less than amazing!
Elle Décor magazine and the San Francisco Junior League put their teams together to present a tour of five homes in the St. Francis Wood neighborhood of the city.
One home, the Elle Décor showcase house, experienced a major transformation at the hands of some of the city’s best interior designers. Three of the other four had designers’ magic wands waved over them to reveal their full potential in short order. The fifth house, a California Spanish style home that’s on the market, had selected areas fluffed and buffed to put its best face forward. All of them are worth seeing if you have an interest in what the highest quality materials can look like when the imaginations of great designers are at work.
Each home has its own unique style; they’re architecturally different from one another, yet there’s a similarity in how fabrics and colors are harmoniously combined in each to create a sense of elegance, grace, and comfortable living.
Pay particular attention to how tile has been used in bathrooms and kitchens. The patterns are interesting, the materials in some cases unusual, and the applications are most interesting.
All five homes are open for viewing on Saturday, November 6th, and the “showcase house” will also be open for two more weekends; November 13th and 14th and November 20th and 21st.

Here are a few images to whet your appetite to see great design applied in imaginative ways.
I would love to see this in person! Love Grant K. Gibson's bedroom.
