I absolutely adore her use of bold happy colors. Love this house. It's beautiful!

Wow, I like the colors. I think the art deco sofa posted earlier in the day with a little restoration could look great in this space.

I do agree with Everett305 that this does look like Architecture Digest but I don't have a problem with it since many designers post their own homes on this site.

lovely home

Wow, your bedroom is stunning! And I love that pink wallpaper and the gold sofa too - definitely worth the splurge! I also really appreciate the part of the interview where you say that your home reflects the real you - as a girl who is often shy, I can relate to that! Your designer has a fantastic philosophy.

PS I would take those references to Architectural Digest as a huge compliment. I am still getting lots of ideas and inspiration from your home and I am definitely on a budget! :)

Not my style but beautifully done. I like that you kept the kitchen dark and didn't go with the white kitchen that seems to be so popular right now. I do think that the wall paper competes with the beatiful stain glass window but I have to say Kudos to you for being able to purchase a home in SF and in Pacific Heights no less.
Did I miss the bathroom?

LOVE LOVE LOVE it! I'm going to pin this on my Pinterest boards and look for it on houzz tonight. I wonder if you can pull of this look on your own, since whenever I've seen it done well, it's always been done by a designer.

Maria, what is the height from your counter top to the bottom of your upper cabinet where the toaster oven is? I have a wall with uppers meeting a wall with no uppers just like that, and I like the way the you did your backsplash height.

Thanks!

I would never decorate my own place like this, but this is lovely Maria and Michelle!

Wow. Some parts of this home could make me overcome my aversion to pink! (Not the bedroom, though -- too much of it there for me. Then again, I don't live there!)

Stunning colors, love the metallics especially in the (sadly, pink) wallpaper, and the turquoise is my color...

Very dramatic and glamorous.

This is definitely glamorous and sounds like it suits her personality. Kudos to Maria for finding the right designer for her, and to Michelle for being able to tap into what Maria likes.

Though, yes, this is staged to the point of it losing personality, in my opinion. It's so perfect, so shiny and so new that it seems like a designers play apartment and not someone's home.

I'm really happy that Maria loves it, though!

Very cool. My fav being the living room and hot pink window seat! The bedroom wasn't winkin' at me though. The bed frame and bedding was kinda blah.

Please post the source of the tufted bench with acrylic legs that is shown in the hallway photo. Thanks.

You know, I've seen so many pastel 1980s abstract paintings and have never thought they'd be able to not look totally dated, but on that hot pink wall that one works very well. Quite an accomplishment.

Everrett 305's contrarian comment disappeared?! I really wish the censors would preserve the posts of people who do not always have fabulous things to say. It was a valid point of view - though I disagreed with it.. It wasn't abusive or offensive.

I like people who are bold enough to experiment with bright saturated colors, but I wonder if the homeowner will get tired of technicolor furnishings and walls after a couple of years. I love color and vintage fashion as well - (hello Pucci!) but like my walls as they are - light hues and white trim with some shots of pattern and color.

An absolute stunner. I adore the painting on the wallpaper, the pink dining chairs and everything else about it.

Wow, really beautiful! It's great to see something outside the AT 'norm'. Thanks for sharing!

This is so my style and an absolute dream home. The bright fuchsia pink and gold wallpaper is killing me. Beautiful!!

Nice to see an elegant home. Gorgeous trim details, wall paper and colors. Beautiful. That dark kitchen is so cool, and definitely cool at midnight digging for another bottle of champagne, but I wonder how that would feel at 7 am?

Fantastic! I love everything about it. I'm a huge fan or bright colors, and that white trim ties the rooms together. Dining room blue is my favorite - that's so pretty. And SF tall ceilings and bay windows! Lucky!! Beautiful home, well done.

Lovely - beautiful colors, and an unusual sense of design. I love all the pink, but that's just me. My favorite is the pink and gold wall - unusual!

Spectacular and gorgeous. Love the pops of aqua in the kitchen

It is a lovely house, but it's not what I come to Apt Therapy to find. I want to see how people are decorating and designing their homes themselves, not see what a designer has done for their client. Plus, most of us live in situations where we can't hire designers, and buy a gagillion dollars worth of metallic gold fabric for a couch, or deal with the kind of fingerprints you'd see on that dining table, and then what the dogs and cats of the world would do to the pink satiny seats! I like seeing how real people live. If I wanted this kind of glamour I would be visiting Elle Decor. Again, it's lovely and kudos to the homeowner, but this doesn't feel like home to me at all.

I love the kitchen...how the teal pops against the dark cabinets...very nice. Everything else is just a little too much for me.

Completely agree with SweetLiberty!

No, no Timmy. That sofa is not for sitting!

Are Timmyand the dogs and cats of the world laying siege to this and similarly styled homes with battering rams so they can get at those dining room chairs. No reference to or evidence of children or pets in her life so the point is irrelevant.

And if Timmy pays a visit it won't hurt him to behave like a littte gentleman and treat his hostess's property with consideration and respect.

stylish, stunning, striking, and completely awesome.

It's beautiful. Total glamour and color-coordinated with the lovely pinks and aquas,and the sleek, modern style is consistent throughout. It looks perfect for the beautiful, sophisticated Maria. While the look is not my personal style, I love the abstract art pieces. It all works perfectly together. With that having been said, I must add that Maria's style is not for everyone. Families with small children might go for sturdy fabrics in dark colors and opt for an easy-to-clean wood floor instead of a white shag carpet. Those of us with pets, well...we don't even have to say a thing about paw-prints, sharp little claws, and shedding hair from our furry babies who share our homes - or in some cases, allow us to share theirs! (Cat owners will totally understand!)

For me, the bright white--especially when there are large areas of it--looks a bit raw against the rich, deep colors. It's almost as if another look entirely were trying to butt in. That said, I really like it. Some night I will sneak in and steal the golden sofa!

I like the bold colors, but there seems to be a serious lack of texture. All the furniture looks like it's upholstered in exactly the same kind of fabric, and there's no layering. Aesthetically beautiful, but not inviting.

Très Hollywood Regency. The living room and dinning room are beautiful.

I ABSOLUTELY, POSITIVELY LOVE THIS PLACE!!!
It is so happy and glam. And that gold couch... Wow! I have been trying to achieve this look in a low key way, so all of my walls are dove white, but I love your walls. I've also been sticking to green, navy and turquoise, but I do love that pink. Your house rocks. I am inspired to go all the way now!

hi love the blue walls very sad images were too grainy to pin, :}

Agreed, RSR, on both points.

Love the bold black cabinetry in the kitchen. Why not remove wooden shelves, replace with glass and add puck lights at the top? It would really glow!

Lovely design, bold colors, fun, functional, great use of space (especially the window seat and table at the bedroom window), great art. Love it all!

I certainly am astute enough to recognize the intrinsic beauty of Maria's home. It "looks like" her. I also find it to be the antithesis of my own personal style. It truly is amazing to me, so much so that I've been back through the slide show a couple of times looking for something I might adapt to my own surroundings...no go. Enjoy your beautiful home, Maria. It somehow has further solidified my own opposite style.

We are cut from the same hot pink and torquoise cloth - my house has similar colors but you're braver than I! Looooooove the fabric on the dining room chairs - delish!

I love this effortlessly chic apartment! So glamorous and sexy. I love it when I see a fearless attitude towards color. Talk about the color block trend! She's got it! She is definitely a fearless fashionista when it comes to her home. I'm loving and lusting for her furniture, accessories, art and her modern maximalist look! I can't gush enough about this lovely home :) Enjoy it Maria!!

This is so well done. I love everything about that dining room. Everything.

love it, top to bottom. i'm too messy for this and my hair sheds everywhere. but the color and comfort and glamour is beautiful. the bedroom is my favorite and the gold sofa is fantastic!

It is a stunning place for sure but I wonder whether this bold bright colours with prints and gold everywhere feel overstimulating at some point. I am sure that this a perfect place to host formal dinner parties and get into the right mood when dressing for a great night out but I can't see someone relaxing and calming down in pjs and old worn out shirts from college days in this pad.

I have to echo NicoleZH's comments exactly. It's stunning and glamorous, but I'm not sure how totally liveable it is.

I really thought this was a special apartment. So unique--I am getting bored of seeing the same thing over and over again. I think that this is a design that DIYers could certainly emulate. Rich gem tone walls painted with attention to the architectural detail, vintage furniture in interesting shapes reupholstered in metallic and velvets, one-of-a-kind art that speaks to you and your taste. I am very inspired!

So nice to see something different on AT! This is denitely stunning, and I love how unabashedly over-designed it is, with a careful palette, items going to spots especially chosen for them, and a flair for the original. Forget mid-century cozy effortless - this is glamour!

I think this place is great, and it was so much fun to look at. I love the wall colors, and the fact that ceilings were painted in every room that I can tell. I'm kind of shocked by "personality-less" comments. If this apartment doesn't have personality, what does? An all-white room with no art on the wall, stacks of crumbling books in every corner, and a vintage suitcase and traveling cape perched on the foot of a bed? Plus, that couch is obviously for sitting: it's deep and the cushions look smooshy.

I guess I'm in the minority and find this place too trendy, too 'decorated' and just too much.

razzle-dazzle cool. not sure i could live in/with any of the rooms except for dining room. most inspirational in a challenge to be daring. also not the usual diy vibe of grungy old furniture with a slap-dash of paint.

this is what i imagine a kelly wearstler home would look like if kelly wearstler was capable of any restraint.

This home can certainly channel the ghost of Liberace. Viva Las Vegas!!

Girl!!!! I love your house...oh my goodness!!!!! The living room, your bedroom...all of it- Love it!!!!

Equalityjones: kelly wearstler -> hilarious and true.

I love this place even if I could never live anywhere with that much color on the walls. I'm glad to see this site show some variety even if it is of the more upscale decor magazines style. I don't commonly read those magazines so its kinda refreshing to see it. I follow a strict magazine budget or else I will be in trouble. Another thing, not everyone who reads this site has kids or pets. So its not necessarily a negative that a home is designed for adults. Plus when I was a kid I was very well behaved and neat and I never stained the white carpet once even though my parents did.

I feel like I just took a stroll through a museum. A gorgeous, over the top, high fashion museum. The space truly is striking and calls for one's full attention. It is not my style at all, but you would have to be a fool not to appreciate that apartment. Kudos to you Maria for executing such a bold vision.

Beautifully done space. People have to understand that not every House Tour is going to be their taste and may not fit their lifestyle. This condo was obviously decorated in a way that suits a single grown woman, not a family with young kids and/or pets. There's nothing wrong with that!

What's the source for the chandeliers in the dining room and living room?

Honestly I could never decorate my home like this one. In my opinion, glamor lies on simplicity. But congratulations to the owner since she is using the kind of vive color which are sometimes a good therapy and at some point she identifies herself with those colors. Her home is wonderful, I love the pictures on the dark wall in the living room and the bed in the background... That should be a good spot for a nice picture by the way :)
Very trendy and fashionable style!
