When Modern Was

In the heart of San Francisco, there is a quiet residential neighborhood that has a reputation for being a village within the city.

This traditional working-class neighborhood has evolved into a highly desirable residential area with unique stores.

This tiger eye oak table was so beautiful and imperfect condition, I decided not to paint it! It’s coming into the store today. It would make a beautiful addition to an entryway or an office.

All the pillows are handmade by a woman on the company in India. All natural fabrics and inserts. Always a great selection.

This lovely piece just arrived with a beautiful in laid bone design. All handmade, solid wood and bone.
It’s 5 feet long and 20 inches deep with two huge drawers for plenty of storage.
