Home Bunch - Interior Design Ideas

San Francisco. #SanFrancisco Photo by Classic Casual Home.

 

Have you ever imagined living in the comfort of your home and then moving to an apartment? That’s not always an easy task, but add an exciting city like San Francisco and you might change your mind and starting packing for a new adventure! This is exactly what my friend, the interior designer and blogger, Mary Ann Pickett, from Classic Casual Home blog, did when her husband had his job transferred to this beautiful city.

Mary Ann found a charming but slightly outdated 1920s high-rise, and since this was going to be a rental, Mary Ann had to get really creative to make this apartment feel like her own. The first thing was getting permission to paint the walls, from dated peachy walls to classic off-white that serve as a canvas for her to display her beautiful furniture and decor pieces, while framing the gorgeous views of the bay.

Even the kitchen in this apartment was transformed and updated with gray paint (Mary Ann used the very popular “Benjamin Moore Revere Pewter HC-172) on cabinets and added some decorative pieces that are easy to reduplicate at home.

If you’re also moving to an apartment and need to find easy decor ideas for your rental, I can’t imagine another place more inspiring than Mary Ann’s. Take a look at these “Before and After” pictures to see how talented this incredible interior designer is!

Foyer “Before”

The apartment had great bones with beautiful architectural details but it needed a color palette that could complement them. Mary Ann knew exactly what to do…
