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...
cherry blossoms at the japanese tea garden
we loved these little stools at the tea garden
shopping on valencia
me and my friend jenny at clarion alley
skateboard art
cute puppy and cool inlaid floors
hooks at rare device
succulents on an orange table at our friend's house
cloud paintings by unknown artists
our friend's roommate is a horticulturist
homes on the street we stayed on

I'm always jealous of other cities vintage furniture stores.
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.
