Description: Charming Victorians. Grand Pacific Heights mansions. Chic Russian Hill apartments. Lovely Wine Country estates. A lavishly illustrated celebration with 250 glamorous photographs, San Francisco A Certain Style is your passport to the stunning interiors that grace San Francisco's most beautiful houses. Clearly defined yet infinitely varied, San Francisco has a special style all its own. San Francisco's gifted designers and architects have traditionally fashioned interiors of enduring beauty and comfort, from the casual elegance of historic country houses to the studied sophistication of collectors' art-filled homes. The much loved and often copied —"California Look," which mixes warm wicker and woods with bold contemporary art and natural light, is well represented here. Here, too, are glorious examples of opulent, antique-filled estates and the sunny charm of rustic country hideaways. Among the extraordinary houses featured in these pages are those that bear the signature styles of San Francisco's best-known designers: a historic firehouse redesigned by John Dickinson; vibrant interiors by Ron Mann; collector/designer Robert Hutchinson's sculpted walls. Discover for yourself a sense of wonderful lives lived to the fullest in beautiful settings in San Francisco A Certain Style. 1 GRAND STYLE Introduction 23 Filoli, Woodside 26 Rosekrans House, Pacific Heights 31 Anthony Hail House, Russian Hill 37 Elaine McKeon House, Hillsborough 43 2 THE DESIGNERS Introduction 49 John Dickinson Firehouse, Pacific Heights 53 Charles Pfister Apartment, Nob Hill 56 Gary Hutton Studio, The Mission 59 Tedrick and Bennett Cottage, Russian Hill 60 Jois and Irving Belfield Apartment, Nob Hill 63 Chuck Winslow Cottage, Lower Pacific Heights 65 William Whiteside Apartment, Alta Plaza 69 Ron Mann Studio, Potrero Hill 71 Leavitt and Weaver Apartment, Russian Hill 75 Scott Lamb Apartment, Broadway 76 Jeffrey Walker Apartment, Buena Vista Park 79 3 THE COLLECTORS Introduction 83 Robert Hutchinson Apartment, Sutter Street 87 Byron Meyer House, Russian Hill 93 Mary Keesling House, Russian Hill 97 Eileen Michael House, Russian Hill 98 Glen Smith Apartment, Fillmore Street 103 4 UNIQUE STYLE Introduction 107 Allen and Grant House, Berkeley Hills 110 Elsa Cameron House, Fairfax 115 Robert Steffy House, Russian Hill 118 David Peugh Apartment, Western Addition 122 Chuck Winslow Apartment, Potrero Hill 124 Mendelsohn House, Richmond District 128 A Shaker-Style House, Cow Hollow 134 Diane Burn Nursery, Pacific Heights 138 Thomas Bennett Apartment, Russian Hill 141 Jan Dutton House, Fairfax 143 A Family House, Tiburon 145 Chuck Williams Cottage, Nob Hill 151 Frederick Hill Apartment, Lafayette Park 152 An Artist's House, Berkeley 155 Gleeson and Jeanrenaud House, Potrero Hill 158 5 VICTORIANA Introduction 165 Wetzel House, Alexander Valley 166 Toby Levy Redesign, Russian Hill 170 Ralph Du Casse House, Pacific Heights 172 Peter and Judy Severson House, Marin County 176 Steve Silver House, Sonoma 183 SAN FRANCISCO CATALOGUE: Design and Style Resources 194 ORDER BEFORE 2 PM CENTRAL - SAME DAY SHIPPINGPRML248
