A historic Julia Morgan property at 3630 Jackson Street is home to the 38th annual San Francisco Decorator Showcase, open to the public through May 25, 2015. Originally built for $20,000 in 1917 for Abraham Rosenberg, “The Dried Fruit King”, and his wife Alice, the 9,758 square foot residence has withstood significant changes yet retains much of it original character. 38 of the Bay Area’s top interior and landscape designers transformed 28 spaces for the showcase, a benefit for University High School. In alphabetical order:

Candace Barnes set the tone for the house with the grand entry and staircase
Lizette Bruckstein of Lizette Marie Interior Design, took a wide and long hallway space and turned it into The Gallery
Allison Caccoma lined the walls of the music and playroom with blue ultra suede
Catharine Clark selected Sorted Books from Nina Katchadoourian and early works from Masami Teraoka for the second floor landing and gallery
Alison Davin of Jute, turned a pass-through space into a Salon de Thé
Gregg De Meza designed Karter’s Bath, a California-cool bathroom, with David Hockney’s 1978 art piece Swimming Pool with Reflection in mind
