2010-04-16T17:26:00.000-07:00

These guys from AIS really know their business of installing high end appliances. The installations are seamless.
Time to take a break now, as we come down the home stretch for the SF Showcase. Wall covering installed, Hood finish applied, only 1 counter left to go along with the backsplash. The decorative lighting is all next week and then VOILA` Come and see the completed project!

SF Taking shape

2010-04-13T18:05:00.000-07:00

All the hardware was installed today, many of the counters as well. The appliances even made the mad trip from the basement to the kitchen and are piled up ready to install. Tomorrow the counters should finish up and we'll get started on the backsplashes! Affinity Studios somehow manages to work around all this chaos and Peta is applying a finish to the plaster walls/ceiling

SF Floor Finished!

2010-04-12T14:43:00.001-07:00

This week: all cabinet hardware, counters, backsplash, venetian finish, David Goldberg Fern paper installations. Next week: all decorative lighting, trims, painting of trims. The following week: "TA DA!!"

Deborah Childress Work @ Marin Showcase

2010-04-07T21:17:00.000-07:00

BlindSpot Mirror’s minutely detailed frames are created entirely by hand using botanical or abstract themes in contemporary, transitional or traditional styles. Frames are individually cast using fiber-reinforced gypsum cement providing a structurally strong, relatively light mirror. Each frame is hand detailed and finished with four to six layers of metallic pigment.

Marin Showcase Participating Artists

2010-04-06T19:17:00.000-07:00

We are thrilled and honored to present the art of Matt Rogers and Sharon Paster adorning our Master Suite Walls. You will have to come and catch the synergy between Matt Rogers work and Sharon Paster's. The delight will be all yours

SF Laying the Wood Floors

2010-04-06T19:13:00.001-07:00

Planning around the hardwood floor installation is a bit dicey, originally the floors were just being patched in and sanded/stained. Working counter installation around all this is just another detail to be sorted out

CaesarStone MOTIVO LACE!

2010-04-05T18:23:00.000-07:00

Marin Showcase Fireplace and Re Purposing French Doors

2010-03-29T18:39:00.001-07:00

The fireplace surround was installed today, next in line is templating for the slips and mantle. We have re purposed the french doors that originally separated the bedroom from the porch and they've been cut down and re hung as the closet doors!

San Francisco Kitchen-- The Range Vent is Evolving

2010-03-29T18:36:00.000-07:00

This will be transformed yet again, first by Affinity Studios who will do a custom venetian plaster finish with "fern" imprints to work with the David Goldberg Fossil Collection Fern Wall Covering. Then Joe Amon from Out of the Woods will add a oak banding that will carry the cabinet crown molding onto the hood. Transformation in progress!

STEEL

2010-03-27T14:00:00.000-07:00

We are proud to be working with a local artisan who is truly gifted. See his work in the SF kitchen suspended steel lighting soffit over the island and the support for the peninsula leg. Rumor has it many other designers in the house are fortunate enough to have his talent on board. His work is not to be missed. Here's a little bit about Wyatt:
In January 2006, working as a supervisor welding retail store-fixtures during the day, Wyatt Ellison started creating furniture designs and functional art after hours. Months of experimenting led to the development of a line of home and garden pieces, which he started selling in retail stores throughout the Bay Area. In late 2006, his company Elemental Art was launched, and has since been striving for the next big promotion.

Mark Ames of the JD Group

2010-03-25T19:43:00.000-07:00

It's with total delight that we work with another general contractor who not only is great to work with, appreciates the design process AND the designers that come along with it, and knows how to get the job done. A rare, and true joy

LOOK FOR THE SF KITCHEN BACKSPLASHES TO BE DRESSED IN ANDY FLEISHMAN for ANN SACKS concrete flooring is highly artistic and brings unique character to any installation. The multiple designs, available in square and hexagon shaped tile, are intended to be installed as sets and the application of the grout creates intricate patterns throughout the floor.

THIS WEEKS PROBLEM SOLVED

2010-03-05T19:06:00.001-08:00

This was a nasty surprise when the wall was demo'd to find the face of the fireplace was not in the same plane as the wall... meantime the new mantle/legs have already been built. Solution: fir out the wall to the new dimensions of the fireplace mantle/legs so the wall will receive the new mantle and legs. We love it when a plan eventually comes together :0)

2010-02-09T07:57:00.000-08:00

Framing the Flame: Vauni's Cupola Fireplace

Swedish company Vauni is rethinking fire: "the fundamental nature of what fire brings about-warmth, harmony, joy-must never be overlooked." The company admits the difficulty inherent in the design process: "Designing a fireplace that paraphrases the profound tradition of wood-burning represents a great challenge." With Markus Grip at the helm, Vauni has succeeded in designing bio-fueled fireplaces that "harmonize with the value of fire"....
