San Francisco Rental

I've been trawling through Apartment Therapy lately getting some inspiration on decorating rentals. 
Even though I currently live in a rental which I have been happy with, in a week's time I will be 
on the look out for a new apartment to rent in a new city.
By looking on the net for rentals available in Perth, I'm not sure I am going to be able to find 
what I really want that is in my price range!

But this little apartment in Pacific Heights, San Fransisco has given me a bit of rental envy ...

 


Being a San Francisco apartment, it is full of beautiful details like the wainscoting and the adorable French doors. 
I dream of having internal french doors, there's something I have always loved about them.
 
 

Fortunately before the tenant moved in, the apartment had been repainted and what a
 perfect shade they used.


 


Both  the bathroom and kitchen are basic, but at least they are white, fresh and clean. 
Makes it all the easier to make your rental your home when your accessories work together with the fittings.

White in San Francisco

This house went through a 10 year restoration. The owner, Rosy Strazzeri-Fridman's chose white and natural hues for all of her rooms. Come on in and let me know if you like it!



A glass top was added to the vintage Art Nouveau table base that stands in the turret.



The Fridman family collected their china and enamelware during travels to Europe — as well as visits to a few all-American garage sales.


A reupholstered French Provincial settee, a Lucite coffee table and a hand-loomed wool rug in the living room. The unused fireplace was filled with a stack of oversize books.


In the entrance, fir floors with a rich, custom stain. A dress form displays a favourite coat.



Old mirrors, portraits, and photos line the front hallway walls.


A variety of vintage chairs in neutral colours surround the dining table. They found the pendant lamp at a Paris street market, and the china cabinet at a California antiques store.
