2354 Hyde St., San Francisco

Living Room (before) ​​​​​​​Our San Francisco Bay view windows faced the neighbor’s weathered deck, making lack of privacy an issue. In the room, the floor below the carpet was beat.

Living Room (after) We debated, then our designer advised a medium-tone replacement to match with the rest of the home. Buyers approved.

Bathroom (before) ​​​​​​​All the bathrooms were dated, but the sellers wanted to avoid a large investment.

Bathroom (after) We repainted, cleaned and polished. And our designer found matching textiles that played up cool blue and silver tones to modernize at a fraction of the cost and time.

Master Bath (before) Old and tired, the master bathroom called for upgrades.

Master Bath (after)  With a shoestring budget, we added new mirrors, light fixtures and lots of detailing to improve buyer responsiveness.

Office (before) Like many properties we assess, this one’s handicap grab bars, wheelchair ramps and railings overwhelmed an otherwise attractive space. These fixtures often alienate buyers.

Office (after) Craig assesses and budgets for resurfacing with the estate’s cost expectations in mind. Our designer met the budget with cohesive Berber carpet and matching trim for a pleasant, uplifting space.

Master Bedroom (before) We knew the fogged window glass with blemished metal frames was a liability, but we were stuck with them.  

Master Bedroom (after) Simple detailing, including modern staging, removal of blinds and cleaning the fireplace marble put the emphasis on lifestyle and wonderful Golden Gate Bridge views.

Living Room (before) As the home came to us, the feel, looking from the living room to the dining area, was overwhelmingly 1970s Brady Bunch.  

Living Room (after) Our designer chose the warmth of the hardwood floor and a sophisticated cool palette, plus airy, light furniture placement. Little money and time required, always our aim.

Living Room (before) The carpet created a dreary, heavy feeling.

Living Room (after) Lightened up with hardwood flooring and bright, modern décor.
