NOV 2013 Three Exterior Renovations
Recently, I've worked on three different exterior renovation projects. I'll post photos of the finished projects soon:
A single family residence in need of new paint. I suggested adding trim to bring the large facade into scale with neighboring homes. Paint has been completed--still to come, new lighting, house numbers, mailbox slot.
A single family home--the clients wanted to move in quickly so they didn't want to do any major structural work. Upgrades included new paint, new glass garage doors, and new lighting. New fence and gate at the top of the stairs, new front door, and new landscaping are still be completed.
Multi-unit condo complex--developed a new modern paint scheme for a residential building overlooking the bay in North Beach.

JAN 2012 A Home Office
Beginning a new career as a consultant and working from home, Mary needed an updated office space. We decided to use this room behind the garage with a view into the garden.
Mary's signature colors--black, white and red became the theme. Paint and new lighting brightened the space. We reused her cherry desk and file cabinets and added additional countertops to create a second desk and more work space. Pegboards hold jewelry and belt samples.
