San Francisco Decorator Showcase

Recently, the BHE had to go to San Francisco for his job. I joined him at the end of his gig and we stayed on for a long weekend of fun. We crammed a lot in in three days and saw quite a bit. But I was beyond thrilled to learn the San Francisco Decorator Showcase was opening the day before we were to fly home. Yay me!! And it did not disappoint.

Are you ready to tour this amazing home?

Now, don’t expect to see plain pink and blue! No way!

These nurseries are way too cool for that…
