Pacific Heights Remodel

The public areas are as bland and sterile as the vodka bottles on display...a little boring. TV room and bedroom seem nice though. If I was invited to dinner I would be concerned that I might be at an intervention when I saw that table and that kitchen - no color and no contrast....

The kitchen puts me in mind of a sterile lab. It feels cold and lifeless, it needs some color! Every room leaves me feeling cold. I know the Bay Area, you need brightness to offset the foggy days!

In general, I loved the approach and style. Obviously money wasn't much of a constraint, considering the appliances and some of the furniture, not to mention the premium paid for being in Pacific Heights. The idea of using the entire length of the wall for the bed/night stand system was something I should have done. The 'bones' are definitely present, but I assume as the space is lived in, accessories that will provide color pop and/or represent personal aspects of the resdients' lives will evolve themsleves into the space. I also love clean/crisp/quality/less-is-more, but this test tube aesthetic begs for a little more adventure. I'd love to have the problem of bringing life to this property! But I'd do it over time and get it right, because to my sensibilities, this is a brilliant beginning.

Beautiful overall. Bathroom seemed generic contemporary. Nothing wrong with monotone. Soothing, restful, graceful spaces.
