The San Francisco Decorator Showcase 2024
The San Francisco Decorator Showcase is widely considered the West Coast’s premier design showhouse event, renowned for featuring the work of the region’s top interior designers. All the funds raised through the Decorator Showcase go directly to the San Francisco University High School Financial Aid Program.
THE SPACE:
The Powder Room or Entryway Half Bath, Room #4
Nicknamed “The Perfect Escape” is a 40 square foot jewel box designed for the flirty and the sassy.
INSPIRATION:
The inspiration for this powder 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 viola fluted marble sink, the mosaic marble floors, hints of polished nickel, high gloss tiffany blue paint and lighting that dangles like jewelry complete this romantic and sassy vibe.
