They worked closely with the homeowners to select, design and detail all the interior finishes too. So many things I would choose for myself here like the Carrera marble, Ann Sacks tile and beautiful flooring. Of course I'm downright giddy over all the fun punches of color in the decor too! I really love the clean lines on all the furnishings too, and all the great art! What a great space....and you can see more of it right on over <a href="http://cardeabuildingco.com/work/cole-valley-remodel.html" target="_blank">here</a>!<br /><br /><br /><span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-style: italic;">Love turquoise?
