Moving slightly away from the Christmas theme today with the beautiful San Francisco home of Courtney Klein, owner of Storq, a company focusing on empowering pregnant women through fashion, and her husband Zach. Located in Mission District, the former bar was built on a fault line and has survived two earthquakes without damage since 1890. Despite this shaky start (couldn'r resist!), Courtney and Zach have created a home full of character; I love the mid century touches, personal installations such as the pallet coat storage unit which Zach made and the splashes of red. And what a garden?!

Very cool don't you think? Who would ever guess their bedroom was previously used for storing beer?!
Thank you so much to Ann Street Studio for allowing me to publish these images. If you'd like to see more pictures and read more about Courtney and her wonderful home (including where many of the items are from) you can read the complete article here.
If you love a great conversion, here are a few more to enjoy: the home of an artist in a converted warehouse in Australia, a converted brewery on Gotland, Sweden, and a converted textile workshop in Barcelona.
Have a lovely day!
PS I had a question from one lovely reader asking about wonderful places to buy Scandinavian interior items in the US. Any tips?
