2020 Jackson Street, home of the 2012 San Francisco Decorator Showcase 

It is official, the designers for this year’s San Francisco Decorator Showcase have been chosen.  Among them are Geoffrey De Sousa, Matthew MacCaul Turner, Brian Dittmar, Matt Murphy, Ma(i)sonny, Weaver Design Group, Lawanna Cathleen Endonino, Dara Rosenfeld, and Lost Art Salon.  A full list is on view on the showcase website.  They are all working in high gear to get construction on its way, one-of-kind objects sourced, and materials and furnishings ordered, all to be installed prior to the grand opening gala on April 27th.

I don’t want to give away all their secrets; but to wet your whistles, here is a sneak peek at what these designers proposed to the design committee that ultimately won them each room.  And now, without a drum roll and in no particular order, may I present:

The boys from Lost Art Salon took a different approach by letting the art do the talking.  It says it all!

Please join me in supporting the Financial Aid Program of the San Francisco University High School, the beneficiary of the 35th San Francisco Decorator Showcase.  Tickets are still available for the opening night gala on April 27th.  But act quickly, as the event sells out every year.  After that the home will be open for tours Tuesday, Wednesday, and Saturday from 10:00am to 3:00pm, Thursday and Friday from 10:00am to 7:00pm, and Sunday and Memorial Day from 11:00am to 4:00pm.  It will be closed on Mondays.  Tickets are $ 175.00 for the and $ 30.00 thereafter.

I would love to hear what you think.

Cheers,
