GENTRY MAGAZINE ASKED
JASON MOORE & ASSOCIATES. . .
When is the time to hire an interior designer?
1. When the idea of decorating and furnishing
your home seems daunting.
2. When you no longer have the time to shop.
3. When youre tired of making expensive
mistakes.
4. When you realize that you dont have as
many resources as the professionals.
5. When you have a vision of your home but
you dont know how to make it a reality.
6. When you need a therapist who can also
decorate your house!
. . . just kidding on that one.
Our best advice:
When your design goals are cut short by your
abilities and you become overwhelmed,
trust your instincts, buy the best quality you
can, and when you need help making it all
workgive us a call!

s we were pulling together features for
this issue, the February rains were in
full force and we found ourselves
drawn to homes that we had pho-
tographed many months before. Two
of which caused us to dream of far-
away places and days in the sun. The first is San Francisco-based
interior designer Audrey Brandts own Parisian apartment
squarely situated on the Left Bank directly across from Notre
Dame. Ooh, la,lawhat a view! (Toujours Paris, page 40). To keep
the design focus squarely on that incomparable view, Brandt kept
her color palette simple and employed fresh apple green tones
to echo the spring blossoms of Paris.
Our second major feature spotlights a dream house at Lake
Tahoe. This is no ordinary cabin. Years in the making, this stun-
ning residence has been painstakingly crafted to look like it has
always been there. The homeowner has filled it with exquisite
artwork and an impressive collection
of Native American blankets and rugs.
The resulting residence is nothing
short of mountain-high perfection
(Classic Tahoe, page 48).
Also in this issue, Gentry Designs
Lena Dakessian notes just how much
the world of high fashion is increas-
ingly influencing interior design
(Designers Notebook, page 34). We
speak with award-winning interior designer Melanie Codding-
ton about updating a family home in Hillsborough with a fresh,
crisp look (Laid Back Luxe, page 56). And we jet off to Rome to
discover one of the Eternal Citys hottest new boutique hotels
Palazzo Manfredi (Destination Design, page 66).
So if summer vacations seem far away, take a few minutes to
savor the stories in store and do a little day dreaming.

risp, rich, contemporarythese are the calling
cards of Kendall Wilkinsons design projects. The
San Francisco designer is hailed for bold color
choices and her uncanny ability to make tradi-
tional interiors fresh and current. When we asked Kendall about some
of her favorite projects, she turned to this stunning Pacific Heights
living room recently completed for a growing family.
The space is sophisticated without being stuffy. Wilkinson
employed a color scheme of soothing blue and warm caramel
throughout, and mixed antiques with custom upholstered pieces and
sculptural elements like a Saarinen brass floor lamp and a grouping
of four glass coffee tables with gilt frames.
I want seating arrangements to be comfortableto encourage
conversation, stresses Wilkinson. To that end, she made the beau-
tiful refurbished hearth with intricate molding the focal point of the
room and added a pair of tabourets covered in a Fortuny pattern to
rest before the fire. They are a fun accent, notes Wilkinson, but
also serve as pretty comfy seating in a pinch.
The room is finished with silk draperies and privacy shades that
cast a diffused glow over the space.
Understated Elegance

t 93, rue de Rivoli, in the 1st arrondissement,
overlooking le Cour Napolon and I.M.
Peis Pyramide du Louvre, is Caf Marly.
The Parisian brasserie has all the allure one
would expect from something situated in
the Palais du Louvre, particularly through
its picturesque terrasse, perfectly lined with rows of Thulian pink
chairs that somehow speak to Edith Piafs adage of seeing the
world through rose-colored glasses. French Designer Olivier Gag-
nre is responsible for breathing life into the space, and the fruits
of his efforts resulted in one of the most fashionable go-to desti-
nations in Paris, frequented by guests of all kinds, Karl Lagerfeld
included. Caf Marly is but one of Gagnres many undertakings.
Others include Htel Marignan and the Pierre Gagnaire Restau-
rant, also in Paris.
With a portfolio boasting a mix of creative talent as well as
versatility in crafts (ceramics, glassware, furniture, objets dart,
The terrace at Caf Marly
Olivier Gagnre
and lighting), Gagnre not only dresses a room, he brings it to life
with the ingenuity of his own creations. His father was an antique
dealer and exposed him to many different art pieces, relics, and
trades. My home in Paris housed many beautiful things, he says,
insisting that living among such treasures helped shape his worldly
and creative frame of reference. Most recently, Gagnres collab-
oration with THG Paris has given rise to Bagatelle, a witty,
imaginative collection of luxury bathroom fixtures inspired by a
French royal table game that has since evolved into the pinball
machine. Designing for THG, I wanted to create something that
could at once be both classical and modern, he says. Because
trends, by nature, can become pass quickly, the culmination of the
two is what truly make things timeless.
While Gagnres earliest projects are noticeably avant-garde, his
evolving aesthetic now pushes him towards an eclectic median,

touching on a variety of styles and creative references
(much like his own Paris apartment, featured last year on the cover
of Elle Dcor). I love to mix colors and textures and to harmo-
nize materials that are inexpensive with those that are more
luxurious, he admits. Juxtaposing the two gives both style and
strength to a project, loading a space with personality and endow-
ing it with something strange and unusual.
He also tells how visual perception and selective memory are
key tools for most art disciplines. When Im speaking with stu-
dents, I tell them to open their eyes and let the visuals pass
through their minds. I encourage them to be inspired by all that
they see. For Gagnre, its his beloved Italian paintings and the
richness of their hues, or the sky in South America that he cap-
tures in these mental photo stills. One must
then reintroduce this memory as a visual concept
and use it to communicate a subjective experience. The result,
French artist Michle Champenois says, is Gagnres extraordi-
nary talent for creating forms that catch the eye, evoke an emotion,
and question the memory. LENA DAKESSIAN

Award-winning San Francisco designer Audrey Brandt creates the
ultimate pied--terre for her family in the City of Lights.

INTERIOR DESIGN BY AUDREY BRANDT
I
he fact that we live in a global economy
and that the world is, seemingly, getting
much smaller, becomes all the more evident
when you chat with designer Audrey
Brandt. Brandt grew up in Idaho, worked in Manhattan and
Tokyo, finally landed in San Francisco, but continues to work
with clients in Europe, Asia, and Australia on a regular basis.
Along the way, she and her entrepreneurial husband saw fit to
enroll their daughter in a local French school with an eye to
spending family vacations and summers in France.
Five years ago, they became connected with an estate agent
in Paris who spotted a gem in the rough for them. The gem came
in the form of a rare two-story, three-bedroom apartment on
the Left Bank directly across from the le de la Cit with stun-
ning views of the Cathedral of Notre Dame. The rough part came
in the apartments condition.
But Brandt has never been one to be daunted by a remodel.
Quite the opposite is patently clear after seeing her impeccable
work and realizing how much she relishes the challenge. This par-
ticular challenge meant marrying the history and beauty of a
building with portions built in both the 18th and 19th centuries
with contemporary comforts like a modern kitchen, baths, and
state-of-the art lighting. When you consider that Notre Dame
was built between 1163 and 1245, our apartment seems incredi-
bly young, says Brandt. But if youd seen the kitchen, you would
have shuddered. It was imperative to update, but also to honor
the apartments history.
Brandt elegantly reinvigorated the entire residence with her
deft use of color and keen attention to detail. Step one was to
install hardwood floors throughout the homes main level,
recalls Brandt. The old worn out floor had been topped with a
succession of flooring material over the decades and Brandt was
confronted with a combination of distressed carpet and tile. A
beautiful hardwood floor in a traditional French herringbone pat-
tern elevated the space and created a seamless continuity. During
the remodel, Brandt discovered wonderful beams along the
walls in the living room and made sure to expose them. She also
restored the apartments original limestone fireplace.
In order to place an emphasis on the magnificent view,
Brandt kept her color palette simple. I chose a wonderful apple

Three-meter-high ceilings and an exposed
beam wall speak to the early foundation
of this exquisite Parisian apartment. Rich
touches like Louis XIV-style furniture and
deep silk drapes and fabrics by Kravet and
Barbara Barry add glamour while a neutral
color scheme keeps the space welcoming.

green reminiscent of the glorious Parisian spring, she notes. The
color is fresh, delicate, and soothing. I wanted the apartment
to be welcoming, recalls Brandt. In essence, she was designing
not just for her own family, but for the many friends who would
visit, and the guests who might rent out the apartment. When
the Brandts arent there, it is often booked. The agent is always
telling me about the celebrities who are staying thereits quite
thrilling, she smiles.
In the living room and dining room, Brandt mixed antiques
with contemporary upholstered pieces and custom reproduc-
tions like the coffee table that she designed herself and had
crafted in Thailand. I bought several pieces of furniture for the
apartment from a wonderful shop in Paris called Mis en Demeure
where I know the owner, Philippe Daraux, recalls Brandt.
Over the years, Brandt has relied on Daraux for a number of pro-
jects. For her own apartment, she acquired the beautiful antique
gold mirror above the fireplace (circa 1850) and the marvelous pair
of 18th-century antique doors from him. Brandt had the doors
refinished and inlaid with mirrors for the dining room. I wanted
the view to surprise you at every turn, she says. So I layered mir-
rors and reflective surfaces as often as possible.
Lighting was also a key element in Brandts design scheme.
The wiring in the apartment was incredibly old and not up to
current standards. Rewiring was a huge effort, but one that has
paid off, I think, she notes. She had recessed lighting put in along
with antique sconces and crystal chandeliers.
The apartments upper floor includes three lovely bedrooms
a master suite with a view of the cathedral, a guest room, and
Brandts favorite room (her daughters bedroom). For this pretty
space she added two antique twin beds and covered them in French
quilts. The walls are washed in a beautiful Provenal yellow, while
accents of lavender add contrast. The result is trs charmant.

The stunning view of Notre Dame Cathedral takes center stage in this darling bedroom. Brandt found the matching antique headboards at the March
Paul Bert in Paris. She had them upholstered in a deep green velvet, with lilac fabric curtains and shams to match. The handmade quilts are from Paris.
I chose a wonderful apple green reminiscent of the
glorious Parisian spring, she notes. The color
is fresh, delicate, and soothing. I wanted the apartment
to be welcoming, recalls Brandt.

A lakeside estate undergoes a masterful remodel at the hands of its owner
and the award-winning architecture firm of Ward/Young.
TEXT BY STEFANIE LINGLE BEASLEY | PHOTOGRAPHY BY ASA GILMORE
CONTRACTOR: BRESNAHAN CONSTRUCTION | ARCHITECT: WARD/YOUNG ARCHITECTURE
A
s your car wends down the driveway of
this beautifully wooded estate, you marvel
at the mountain air and the lush greenery
that surrounds you. Then, at the end of the
drive, you are treated to the visual feast that is Lake Tahoe, in all
its sparkling glory. This piece of property, with its humble cabin,
appealed to its homeowner over 30 years ago when it was first pur-
chased. But even then, the land was the prize, not the house.
We knew wed need to tear it down and start all over someday,
she recalls. The subsequent decades found the house in and out of
use as the family grew up.
Ultimately, she realized, I just wasnt using it enough because
the house was so coldthe heating and wiring were all in need of
real repair. It was uninhabitable during winter and thus it went
unused for months at a time. About 15 years ago, I started to
really think about remodeling, she recalls, and finally took the
plunge in 2004. Armed with stacks of design ideas clipped from
magazines and shelter books on Adirondack cabins, she began to
hunt for an architect and a builder who would understand her
vision. She discovered them in contractor Dennis Bresnahan of
Bresnahan Construction in Squaw Valley and the team at
Ward/Young Architecture and Planning in Truckee.
Along the way, she had filled a storage space with furnishings,
artwork, and accessoriesall saved for that someday when the
lake house of her dreams would be realized.
Seven years later, this homea true labor of loveis nearly com-
plete. As of press time for this article, all that remained was the
installation of a seven-foot-tall headboard for the master bed-
room. It will be the last masterful addition to a house that is
already extraordinary.
The homeowner divides her time between a sprawling Mediter-
ranean-style residence in Los Altos Hills, a cozy cottage in Carmel,
and now this lakeside Tahoe retreat. Each home is unique.
I really wanted a Tahoe cabin, she recalls. So many of the
homes up there now are too big and too formal. I wanted it to be
mountainy, casual, and warm. And, most importantly, she
wanted it to look like it belonged, that it had always been there.
At first the project was going to be a remodel, but as time wore
on, it became an almost complete tear down. A former garage
became a guest cabin and the main house rose again from the
original foundationthis time with an improved floor plan, sturdy
construction, and wonderful finishes. The most striking design ele-
ment of the new home wraps around the porches with wild
abandon. Beautifully twisted branches form railings reminiscent of

antlers. Its an unexpected touch, but one that defines the homes
strong sense of place.
Inside the house, reclaimed red barn wood discovered in Indi-
ana lines the walls. Designer Michael Burg, who keeps offices in
Napa and San Francisco, is responsible for this special touch,
recalls the homeowner. The wood lends a rustic feel to the inte-
riorsinstantly giving them a sense of history. Many of the
furnishings from the original cabin were put to work again in the
new space. A few were reupholstered and restored, but many
were reintroduced as iscomplete with the patina of time.
The homeowner glows when she discusses her kitchen with its
red AGA stove and custom hood. The zinc counters are just
marvelous, so easy to care for, she says. Overhead in the kitchen
are hand-hewn beams. The original cabin had them and I loved
them, so we continued them in the new house.
Bay Area-based master craftsman Carlos Campos did the iron-
work on the front door to the home. To illuminate Campos
work, a hay baler was electrified and two antique English carriage
lanterns placed on either side of the door. Once through the entry
door, guests are awed by a striking painting of a Native American.
The homeowner laments that the painting was one of a pair that
she spotted on a visit to a gallery in Carmel. I should have bought
both, she says wistfully. Beneath the painting, an antique massive
console table is topped with an antique salmon purchased at the
San Francisco Fall Antiques Show.
Dotted throughout the house and guesthouse are antique
Navajo rugs and blankets from the homeowners extensive collec-
tion. She even employed several as curtains. If you look closely,
youll see the curtains dont match, she points out. Several peo-
ple thought the idea was crazy. But it is as visually appealing as it
is unorthodox. Unafraid to take design risks and backed by the
courage to follow through on her vision, the homeowner embarked
on the construction of the massive stone patio that leads guests from
the house to the lake. I hand picked each of the boulders surround-
ing the patio, she notes. She also worked with the team of
craftsmen who built the outdoor fireplace. They wanted to make
it perfect and symmetrical and I wanted anything but, she recalls.
After much trial and error, they were able to achieve precisely the
rough look she was after.
Now that the project is complete, the homeowner and her grown
children are thrilled with the results. Were up here all the time
now, she says. Enjoying every minute.

S
an Francisco-based interior designer Melanie
Coddingtons favorite quote comes from the
one and only Coco Chanel. Its not the
houses I love, its the life I live in them, said the fashion icon.
These words inspire Coddington daily. As a result, her work is
vibrant, polished, crisp, and above all, functional. She stresses,
Whether its a formal residence for one or a family home for
clients with children and dogs, my goal is to design a sophisti-
cated space that can be as useful as it is beautiful.
A Northern California native, Coddington earned univer-
sity degrees in sociology and psychology prior to embarking on
a corporate career. Over time, she discovered something was
missing and that her passion ran toward design. She was addicted
to shelter magazines and attended every decorator show house
she could. Design was where her heart was. So in 2001, she
enrolled in interior design courses at UC Berkeley and started
working in the field. In 2004, she launched her own business
and hasnt looked back. By 2005, she was selected to design a
space at the prestigious San Francisco Decorator Showcase and
awards started to pile up quickly for Coddingtonincluding
being named one of the countrys top young designers by House
Beautiful in 2010.
One of her recent projects includes this delightful 5,000-
square-foot 1930s Mediterranean-style home in Hillsborough.

dogs, enlisted Coddington to reinvigorate the home and create
elegant, liveable interiors. Initially, they asked me to work on just
a few things, some carpet and new sconces, recalls Coddington.
But soon we were working on the hallway and eventually the
whole house.
In the living room, Coddington took her color cues from a
beautiful antique Ziegler Mahal Persian rug (circa 1890) that she
discovered at Aga John. She framed the windows with drapes
crafted from a sheer scrollwork design by Christopher Hyland.
She also recovered the clients own sofa in a Hyland chenille in
a rich sage. An early 20th-century Jean Michel Frank mahogany
side table from Candace Barnes Antiques in San Francisco and
an English William and Mary oyster-veneered chest (circa 1690)
work beautifully together. Contemporary accessories, including
a gilded floor lamp, add a punch of modernity.
Coddington, who loves the interplay of the historic and the
modern, also added antique Gustavian chairs to a dark wood
kitchen table. For a little whimsy, she designed a custom chan-
delier complete with a blue and cream floral bird print lining its
shade. The clients already had a fantastic antique rug, table,
chairs, and hutch for the dining room, so Coddington helped
source a Murano glass and polished nickel chandelier and chose
exquisite pale blue and green tones for the plaster walls, instantly
updating the space.
One of the designers favorite rooms in the house is the
charming activity room/study. The entire family enjoys this
multi-functional space. At the center is a Madeline Stuart sofa
in a bold green chenille by Osborne & Little. Dramatic shades
wrought in a Swedish fabric by Josef Frank cover the windows.
Two very different desks allow for multiple people to work and
play at the same time.
Coddingtons love of bold colors is particularly evident in the
daughters room. She chose a Tiffany blue for the walls and
echoed it in marvelous patterned fabrics and items like a Dor-
thy Draper lacquered dresser and lamp by Shine Home.
Charming touches like a dress framed in a shadow box and pas-
try prints finish the space. For the boys room, Coddington
stuck with a crisp black and white color scheme, and focused on
creating a comfortable spot for homework and daydreaming.
Coddington, who admits to despising clutter, made certain
to provide streamlined silhouettes in the pieces she chose for the
home. I think a room should have plenty of breathing space,
she stresses. Its easy to see that she achieved her goal. The
resulting home is beautifully sophisticated and soothing.

work space for two.
