Many San Francisco living spaces are former
storefronts. This space, located in the Portrero
Hill District, has had many incarnations,
including a model train store, TV repair shop
and a beauty salon. The homeowner decided to
turn it into a media room and called in interior
designer Katie Anderson to work out a game
plan. The result is a refreshing and
multi-functional home theater space that also
functions as a second living room and guest room
(the sofa pulls out into a queen-size bed).

In the Northeast corner the green oval table from India and painting by Susan Moss appear to be illuminated by the Noguchi lantern. In reality, the illumination comes from a pair of recessed adjustable fixtures.
