A verdant outdoor oasis in the Terra Linda neighbo A verdant outdoor oasis in the Terra Linda neighborhood of San Rafael, Boris and Sydney Chen’s garden is lushly planted with more than 500 edible and ornamental plants and fruit trees. Boris, a hobbyist woodworker who works in the professional services industry, and Sydney, an ICU nurse and former professional horticulturist, undertook much of the property’s transformation themselves after moving to San Rafael from San Francisco a few years ago.  Learn about the transformation process in our bio 🔗 ✍️ Lotus Abrams 📷 Monica May & Mark Romero 🌳 Landscape architect: Steph Kawachi 🧰 Landscape construction: Gary Torney Landscaping Co #marinmagazine #spacesmagazine #garden #sanrafael

Newly opened in Palo Alto, Bar Underdog was founde Newly opened in Palo Alto, Bar Underdog was founded by Master Sommelier Dennis Kelly and chef Anthony Secviar, who met at The French Laundry and later opened the Michelin-starred Protégé across the street. Despite their prestigious reputations, however, Kelly and Secviar intended Bar Underdog to be the kind of convivial neighborhood spot where locals feel comfortable dropping in anytime for a craft cocktail like the No. 34, made with gin, lacto-fermented strawberry, genmaicha and yuzu, and a modestly priced bar snack, like the Korean corn-cheese puffs with smoked mozzarella and pickled jalapeño or the tuna tartare with plum miso, avocado and sweet onion “chips.” The inviting space was designed by Studio KDA featuring a material palette that merges Japanese influence and Bay Area warmth, framed portraits of iconic pop-culture “underdogs,” and a hand-painted entry mural. Fitting the casual vibe, there are no reservations taken, and a late-night “moonlight menu” is designed to welcome the area’s hospitality workers. 📍299 California Ave, # 110, Palo Alto ✍️ @lotusabrams_writes 📷 @kristenloken #spacesmagazine #newspaces #paloalto

Guests at the new hotspot, designed by Jon de la Cruz of DLC-ID and Liebes Architects, can dine on decadent seafood towers and brasserie classics like escargot toast and petrale sole meunière in elegant environs that channel the French Riviera in the 1970s.  The upstairs dining room is embellished with a burgundy-veined marble oyster counter, Art Nouveau-inspired palm-frond wallpaper, vintage green dining chairs and tufted banquettes, while the lower dining room and wine cellar feature intimate booth seating surrounding a private dining room wrapped in green cheetah wallcovering. The glass-enclosed bar, meanwhile, evokes a verdant greenhouse, decked out in shades of green and accented with lush foliage. 📍65 Division Street, San Francisco ✍️ @lotusabrams_writes 📷 @douglasfriedman #spacesmagazine #spacesmag #newspaces #sanfranciscorestaurant
Here’s a sneak peek of the 2026 SF Decorator showc Here’s a sneak peek of the 2026 SF Decorator showcase! This year’s showcase is held at a historic Queen Anne-style Victorian (the first Victorian in SF Showcase history), built in 1897 and designed by architect Moses J. Lyon. The house was originally built for the Anspacher family and was historically preserved for over six decades by architect Herbert P. McLaughlin. We love it all, but these were are favorite parts: 🫙 The jaw dropping art deco style kitchen, pantry and sitting room by our very own advisory board member Tineke Triggs 💡 The cool blue entry room by Kendall Wilkinson Design (they even designed the light fixtures!) 🛋️ The reversible bench and hand crafted table by Sindhu Peruri 🥃 The in-bedroom bar by Castellanos Interiors 👖 The Levi’s collab! The first ever fashion brand collab with the SF Decorator Showcase 🍾 The third floor living room with, of course, a wet bar Tickets available now! Open from April 25 through May 25.

A tale as old as time: What started as a small-sca A tale as old as time: What started as a small-scale remodeling project ultimately encompassed the whole house. It all began when designer Ansley Majit, founding principal at L+P Interiors, and the clients decided that the layout would work much better if the location of the kitchen, which had windows to the back and doors to the front, was swapped with the neighboring family room — a dark, ill-proportioned space.  Learn how the renovation went in our bio 🔗 ✍️ @lotusabrams_writes 📷 @rbradleyphoto 📐 Architecture: @richardsonpribussarchitects 🛋️ Interior design: @larkandpalm 🧰 Construction: @millennialdevelopmentinc 🌳 Landscape design: @green17design #spacesmagazine #spacesmag #interiordesign #homerenovation #kentwoodlands #hometransformation #homeremodel #homereno
After falling for a rambling mid-century home in K After falling for a rambling mid-century home in Kentfield, a family of four living in Greenbrae decided to make the move. There was plenty to love about the house, built in 1950: Surrounded by mature oaks affording plenty of privacy, the L-shaped residence framed a large courtyard and a pool. With a floorplan encompassing over 3,000 square feet over two floors, five bedrooms and three-and-a-half bathrooms, there was room for the family to spread out, too. But like many older properties, the home had lost its way over the years after undergoing a series of haphazard remodels and additions.

A 1974-era coastal contemporary home in Stinson Be A 1974-era coastal contemporary home in Stinson Beach held undeniable allure for a couple with three teenage girls looking for a vacation property near their primary San Francisco residence. Among its assets, it offered a prime beachfront location, soaring ceilings in the main living area and plenty of space at close to 3,300 square feet.  The house also had its drawbacks, however. It had been remodeled several times over the years, resulting in haphazard additions — not to mention that the fixtures and finishes had become dated. Looking to transform the property into an entertaining-ready coastal retreat, the family hired a team that included Eichler Davies Architecture, Redmond Aldrich Design, Scott Lewis Landscape Architecture and Mat Pel Builders.
