before & after: san francisco loft makeover


this san francisco loft makeover comes from anastasia at faiella design, who shared a great mural makeover with us last year. anastasia worked with a homeowner in the SOMA area of san francisco to create a home that was warm and modern, using a mix of osborne and little fabrics and affordable furniture from shops like west elm and crate & barrel. i’d be happy to pack up and move into this light-filled space any day. thanks for sharing, anastasia!

[have a before & after you'd like to share on d*s? just shoot me an email right here with your (low res, please) images]

I’m totally into the alternating wide stripes on the walls. Cool idea!

while I love my little single story ranch, sometimes I yearn for high ceilings — really opens up some options!

Looks great Anastasia! What a transformation. It was fun helping you with this project!

Gwen said:

Anastasia created a really classy space here which doesn’t have the typical loft-hi tech cold pretentious look…instead it is warm and inviting with quality materials and still accented with sparks (like the pink pillows and deep blue chairs) which give it huge style. She has a great sense of balance -restraint and flair.

January 28th, 2010 - 1:51 pm

Fantastic before and after…great color!

Asia said:
January 28th, 2010 - 2:01 pm

Please, please tell me where you got your couch?!? I have been searching high and low and haven’t found one that is completely perfect until I saw this makeover!

nadine said:
January 28th, 2010 - 2:04 pm

i don’t like it, very 1990s!

Asia said:
January 28th, 2010 - 2:05 pm

Apologies, I missed your earlier comment about the couch source. Really great job with the entire loft! I’m inspired!

I love the carpet in the main room. Where is it from?

January 28th, 2010 - 2:40 pm

The runner is from ABC Carpets/San Francisco. Rug in living room is a one of a kind Pakastani Piece from Floor Designs/SF… Original retail value $8K-it was vastly discounted as manufacturer was clearing space for new product!

January 28th, 2010 - 3:10 pm

Really well done. I love the color combination, the rugs–just the overall look. And these pics serve as a great example for how to dress oversized windows.

January 28th, 2010 - 3:27 pm

great remodel! thanks for sharing this home.

January 28th, 2010 - 3:29 pm

Gorgeous! I love the blue chair and the big round coffee table.

Chandi said:

That is just lovely. The drapery and wall stripes make that area look so much bigger. Beautiful.

The blue chairs! For me, it’s all about the blue chairs! And then to see the blue lamp shade… just wow!

January 28th, 2010 - 6:16 pm

The space is so welcoming. Colour and eclectic objects are so well together. Really nice.

Wow, what an improvement! This looks like it was a challenging space, with its odd angles and high ceilings. It took real skill to make it look warm and cozy and still have an open feel.

Well done!

Gorgeous. I love the wall color.

January 29th, 2010 - 11:39 am

Great work. I especially love the coffee table you chose. I just went to the website for Jason Lees and what beautiful furniture! You are so lucky to have such a great resource. Well done with all of your color and pattern choices too. It must be so nice to come home to this:)
