Curbed SF: November 2015

Written by Mary Jo Bowling | Original Article

Traditional Home's annual Napa Valley Showcase is always a fun event. It tends to be a bit more relaxed than similar design showcases in the Bay Area, probably due to the fact that the participants tap into the Wine Country look of the more rural, more small-town locations. This time, the event happens in not one, but three historic buildings on Randolph Street in downtown Napa (including a bungalow and a Tudor Revival home). The work of more than 20 designers is featured, but today we take you inside rooms by seven Bay Area designers. You can see the whole project through November 15, and there's a big gala event on November 13.

Dining Room by Julie Rootes Interiors makes the classic cabinet pop by covering the back of it with a vivid turquoise lacquer and filling the bar beneath with wine bottles adorned with whimsical door hardware. A hand painted wall covering gives the room a subtle texture.
