Refinery29: April 2015

Written by Angela Tafoya | Original Article

We’re always eager to see the jaw-dropping transformations when the annual S.F. Decorator Showcase hits town. The organization culls the West Coast’s top interior designers to redo a selected room from start to finish, and the results are the stuff interior design porn is made of.

This year, the selected design firms worked their magic on a Pacific Heights mansion. To show you just how dramatic some of the changes were, we asked the S.F. Decorator Showcase to supply us with before photos of the pared-down, pre-designed space to contrast with the after shots. If you’re in the area, be sure to swing by the house in person before it closes on May 25. In the meantime, prepare to be amazed by some of the most impressive interior makeovers we've ever seen!

Julie Rootes Interiors

The Powder Room: Before
This powder room had a dark and moody pre-makeover look with intense wallpaper and black furnishings.

The Powder Room: After
Julie Rootes transformed the room into an ornate oasis. The designer was inspired by natural elements, and added in accents like 24-karat gold and onyx mosaic glass tile. The vivid painting and marble vanity tie it all together.
