A glimpse at a 7000 sq ft home in Evanston, IL designed by Kara Mann. In her ubiquitous style of slightly edgy yet timeless style, always with touches of black. Here Kara has included a disco ball and pink (…crushed velvet?) curtains (Anyone else in love with her CB2 “flutter” sofa? SO GOOD!)

Like Jo always says, if you have to drag yourself into work on a weekend (for those not living the work from home pandemic life like I am) it helps if it’s somewhere stylish. San Francisco’s Monkey Inferno (a company I think now out of business) by Ken Fulk.

Ken Fulk is a magician. Or a maestro as it says on his website. I would have to agree. This home in San Francisco is magic. It was originally a simple 1920s shingled house but the light and the setting was idyllic, with unobstructed views across the park to the Golden Gate Bridge and the Pacific beyond. We set out to create something of enduring beauty and substance. Sparing no detail, we commissioned projects from old-world style artisans: woodworkers, metal workers, stone masons, plasterers, muralists. The result is far more than a custom home, it’s truly a work of art. 

Sharing some more fabulous spaces by Keren and Thomas Richter of NYC design firm White Arrow. In case you missed their feature last week check it out here, and this feature from Jo with a to-die-for kitchen.

Dallas-based interior designer Shannon Bowers does it again with lots of muted tones and in this particular project, a touch of femininity with pinks and roses and a disparate collection of antique furnishings. Another A+ project.
