Classic Book

I have a signed copy of this book and I love it. I go back to it time and again for inspiration. Truly classic San Francisco interiors.

Eclectic, Cozy SF Style

A gift from my mother-in-law, it is one of my very favorite interior design books. I'm a San Franciscan and have this book on the mantel of my fireplace to enjoy anytime. My MIL in Indiana has a copy as well and loves it just as much as I do. These interiors are the perfect example of not following one design school of thought and decorating with what you love to create interesting rooms that reflect who you are and what you love. What I wouldn't give to live in some of these beautiful homes! This is a great gift for anyone who loves decorating, especially if they love SF. The photos are wonderful.

Interiors that are poetry and magic.

This is a book I enjoy looking at and reading again and again because it's like taking a personal tour through these stunning homes. Creative, magical, unique as the people who live there. Daring but with charm and lots of character. That's how I would describe these interiors. This is a fabulous book!

Clearly the best interior design book in years!

I own about 20 interior design books and this is by far the best . I love this wonderful book not only because the stunning pictures it presents but also this book accurately protraits the local styles and favorites. This book is very well organized. The more I read the more I regret the fact that I no longer live in there. If you love the city or have a real appreciation for interior design, buy it and you won't be disappointed by it. If you are just looking for a coffee table book, skip it. This book is too good to be just sitting on the table.
