Traditional HomeWhen flipping through one of Traditional Home's best productions ever, I came across this designer who is very well known throughout the San Francisco area for his design work and also his hi end to the trade showroom, desousahughes . He designed this room for the San Francisco Decorators Showhouse 2008 and it is simply devine! He pulls together a masculine mix of bold shapes and colors and juxaposes those lines with feminine touches like the hand embroidered drapery panels by Holland & Sherry .
The color palette was inspired directly by the Jean de Merry painting of horses that is composed of 36 hand-painted glass squares which is the statement piece in this room. The ink blue silk walls simply make the art pop. I also like how he chose to keep the beautiful wood floors exposed to carry out the caramely rust color throughout the room and also notice how he pops the yellow from painting in touches like art and flowers.
Check out the embroidered detailing on these luscious velvet drapes! He also created wood cornices to mimic the millwork throughout this 1905 Pacific Heights mansion. The long vertical mirror acts as another window, bringing more light and depth to a darker space.
Two Jean-Michel Frank chairs upholstered in Judy Ross embroidered textiles flank the sofa on the other seating area on the opposite side of the room - which used to be a ballroom!

I had the pleasure of seeing this room in person back in May. It is stunning.
