How do you even decide? Everything looks so good.

Our Saturday was spent in San Francisco beginning at the Ferry Building and drifting through the farmers market. We continued our adventure down the Embarcadero and b-lined for north beach.

As we weaved through the avenues with Saints Peter and Paul Church in the distance we knew we were close. There are two things you must get while in North Beach. First, a slice of pizza. Second, Italian pastries and desserts. We found Mara's Italian Pastries on Colombus and of course I ordered a box full of yummy desserts to take home with me.

If you find yourself in San Francisco swing by North Beach, also known as, Little Italy - as it's popular for locals and tourists alike.

Decorator Showcase

San Francisco Decorator Showcase House, 2015

Every year at the end of April the biggest thing to hit San Francisco Interior Design Community comes around. It is known as the Decorator Showcase House. Groups of local designers, some known in the industry and many are using this as a platform to be known. The designers get a room in the house and transform it into something beautiful. The funds raised through this event go towards the San Francisco University High School. 

This years house is at 2698 Pacific Avenue San Francisco, California 94115.

This is a must see and go to event and not to be missed. I know I look forward to this event every year and carve out an evening to attend.

Spring Mix

The vibrancy and colors of spring is something I enjoy every time April comes around. The rolling green hills, sprinkled with wildflowers lush from the months of rain fall. The amount of colors present in nature this time of year is unreal. Gardner's and people alike flock to their local nursery's to replicate the scenes they find in nature. Bright colors bring joy to the soul and through this people plant beautiful flowers and nurture their gardens all spring for summer time harvest.

Spring is a time of plans and projects.
