SF Mission Apartment by JHID....before, during and AFTER....!

I just recently finished a project in the Mission District of San Francisco that I thought I would share not only the AFTER photos of as I typically do, but the before and during photos as well. Too often the interior design world is looked over as purely "decorative"....a lot of people don't understand the process to lay the foundation down in order to create that finished look. For example a client may want wallpaper which sounds simple enough, right? Source it, purchase, slap it up...not always the case. In fact that is rarely the case if it is done correctly. Many times walls need a lot of repair to the surface in order to smooth them out to take the wallpaper.

And that is just a drop in the bucket of preparing a blank canvas for a decorative remodel. Lighting locations, outlets (both new and updating old), cables, cracks in walls, shifting walls, alarm systems, heaters, windows, wood rot...the list goes on....

So I thought for this post I would share a few BEFORE photos and DURING photos of the process....

The apartment was painted in very primary colors - bright yellows, blues....one wall a contrast color, etc. My client works crazy hours and needed a quiet, cozy, calm, sexy space and I immediately began thinking of tailored men's looks....soft grays, blacks for contrast, metal tones for brightness....sexy lighting, consistency and warm wood tones were all in the initial concept when we kicked off our decorative remodel.

And so began the remodel process......one of the biggest changes was investing in a quality paint job and sanding/taking off layers of paint from years and years....that really made a huge difference as well as supplied us with a clean palette to build upon.

  2. Amazing interior job. Gorgeous mix of luxurious materials, pattern, and deep greys. Could I ask who is the mid-century designer of the dining chairs? They look like rosewood. So beautiful. -annesull20@gmail.com
