A bed suspended from enormous ropes in Cathleen Gouveia’s penthouse bedroom was inspired by Sausalito and Otis Redding’s song “Sittin’ on the Dock of the Bay.” Other bedrooms and baths in the home offer innovative design ideas for showcase visitors. A fanciful chandelier (Berkeley-based Ironies) and a shimmering shattered glass painting by Seattle-based artist Cassandria Blackmore enhance the calm spirit in the room that Fiscalini dubs “Shangri-La.” At the other, a spa-worthy shower features an infinity edge floor - no visible drain - tucked into a separate alcove.īuilt-in open cabinets throughout the space are thoughtfully illuminated. A graceful undulating bathtub made from pewter concrete (Sonoma Cast Stone) anchors one end of the room. The adjacent master bath by Petaluma designer Val Fiscalini provides a quiet counterpoint to the “Mad Men” glam. “I wanted to create an elegant New York vibe, like a Fifth Avenue co-op from the ’50s and ’60s,” Murphy says.Īlthough this is Murphy’s first time working with the showcase, his experience designing products for Pottery Barn’s home furnishings line helped him create custom furniture, textiles and accessories that would convey his elegant vision. Upstairs, designer Matt Murphy produced a glamorous master bedroom by mixing midcentury furniture by Tommi Parzinger with elegant antiques, including a 19th-century Biedermeier secretary.

“I wanted to make sure this wasn’t just another white kitchen,” Key says. A smattering of smoky blues and blacks in some secondary countertops and window treatments emphasizes the crisp, fresh feeling in the room.īold design details including extra-wide cabinet door rails, oversized drawer pulls made from gleaming door knobs and a large Roman numeral clock mounted in the marble mosaic backsplash above the Electrolux stove add verve to the design. Designer Tish Key replaced a clunky 1970s-era palette of honey-toned cabinets and gold and brown tiles with a sparkling mix of white cabinets, marble countertops and assorted wall tiles. One of the most significant design transformations occurred in the kitchen. “It’s industrial in concept, but the materials - brushed brass with hand blown glass globes - are more refined.” “In designing the light fixture, I wanted to juxtapose classical elements with something more organic in shape,” Gibson says. A contemporary chandelier appears to levitate above a custom dining table painted to look like burled wood. Multiple shades of gray on the walls - “like fog rolling in from the bay,” Gibson says - are paired with deep blue cashmere curtains and vibrant Kelly green chairs. “She was the starting point for the entire design.”Īcross the hall in the dining room, Grant Gibson looked to another style-maker with royal connections for inspiration - British designer David Hicks, whose bold graphics inspired the black and white painted floor. “I took the color palette from the duchess,” Navarra says, referring to an enormous reproduction of a 17th-century Van Dyck portrait of the Marchesa Balbi. Gusseted sofas, ribbon-trimmed walls and “corseted” sconces illustrate the attention to detail in this jewel-toned salon. Designer Kathleen Navarra chose to balance this dramatic scene with a bold interior design inspired by high fashion.

To the right of the entry, the living room features a wall of windows that frames an incredible view of the San Francisco Bay. The entry is grand yet inviting, and sets the tone for the entire design. Walking into the entry hall with its walls lusciously lacquered in rich caramel topped by a lavishly painted ceiling - both by decorative painter Willem Racke - it’s easy to see why Tarantino would be happy with the renovation project.

“It’s been a wonderful collaboration with this team of talented designers and I’m truly amazed by the results.”
