The Breakfast Room

For the 2019 San Francisco Decorator Showcase, we created an intimate dining room where our imaginary family has been enjoying the start to their days for generations. The design incorporates a mix of antique, vintage and contemporary pieces to illustrate the passage of time, as well as the artistic and aesthetic sensibility each generation has brought to this grand residence. New terrazzo floors flecked with greens and grays anchor the timelessly elegant garden room atmosphere. Oversized palm trees reference the 'Palm Court' tradition of Palace Hotels all over the world, and enliven original wood paneling, transformed by the artistry of Willem Racké to mimic the look of an old-world, limestone-clad veranda with coffered ceilings.
