    Comment by AB: First things first. This is the best Decorator Showcase I've seen so far. Above all, there's the setting-- Le Petit Trianon located at 3800 Washington Street-- 18,000 square feet of grandeur and opulence. Then there's the seemingly endless array of rooms, foyers, lobbies, bathrooms, closets, marble stairways, antique stained glass windows, sculpted rear yard, views of The Bay, and of course the art provided by Catharine Clark Gallery. Lastly and most importantly, there are the designers and decorators who absolutely outdid themselves. All proceeds from the event go to support San Francisco University High School's financial aid program.

    You really have to see the see this event in person. Photographs simply don't do the lavish interior spaces and sheer splendor of the venue justice, especially in terms of size and scale. Main living spaces are the size of large apartments, and the subterranean ballroom can easily host several hundred guests. For those of you won't be able to make it, here's a taste of what you'll be missing...
