San Francisco Couple Transforms Old Victorian Row House

Irwin Weiner ASID - Scott Kalmbach, designer and property developer (now realtor), and his artist wife Tjasa Owen faced a real fixer-upper situation with their crumbling row house in San Francisco. The house they originally purchased as newlyweds was in bad shape, with chopped-up floors housing duplex rentals and tacked-on shed additions in the backyard. But I admire their desire to transform old housing stock and turn it into something new and beautiful and open. You'll see in this HGTV video how House & House Architects in San Francisco helped the couple makeover their home into something truly special.

High-End Design Is All About Having a Passion for Details

Irwin Weiner ASID - I want to usher in the month of November on Design2Share by reinforcing a point that's been made many times before: great interiors are all about the details. High-end furniture designer Promemoria has a video which lovingly shows the handmade ethic behind planning and executing all the details in furnishings that make them so beautifully high end.

From the sensuous curves of their signature Bilou Bilou chair (photo, directly above) to the beautiful finishes of their tables (see the Bassono table, top), they represent the tremendous attention to beautiful finishing touches that make our industry so satisfying to be a part of. Here's to maintaining a passion for all those beautiful details!
