Normally we get our San Francisco fix by reading AT:SF, but last week we got to go in person. We stayed with friends, visited a few gardens, and took snapshots of our favorite details from the homes and sites we saw...

glad you had fun in our city. the tea garden is nice but i prefer dim sum at yang sing, a beer at the beach chalet (with its wpa murals), cocktails at the clift/redwood room, or margaritas at zuni.

my own dining room table, a walnut parsons style table with two 20" leaves by glenn of california, came from the store you photographed. we are blessed with midcentury and reuse/remodel/consignment stores from sonoma to san jose as well as a great current design scene.

that "cool inlaid floor" is actually pretty standard issue for edwardian to moderne flats in two and three story buildings throughout the city.
