I spent the morning at the press preview for the San Francisco Decorator Showcase and, let me tell you, it was a visual feast! As usual, the designs ranged from the outlandish to the oh-so-tasteful. Many of the rooms were inspired by the current Cult of Beauty exhibit at the Legion of Honor, so fine craftsmanship and local artists were heavily featured. Look for a more detailed report to follow, but here are a few early shots, (including this one of the Roof Terrace designed by Frank Holbrook) to whet your aesthetic appetite.

Catherine Kwong created a showstopping office–so chic!
