Decorative mansion pays host to Decorative Showcase event
|
For those who wonder what it would be like to have 30 designers essentially critique and take over your house for a month, San Francisco’s Ken Paige has the answer. “It’s fine once you get over the initial avalanche of opinions,” he said. Paige is the owner of the fairly spectacular 16,000-square-foot mansion on Scott Street that is being used for this year’s Decorator Showcase event, which runs through the end of this month. Paige, who is the owner of the Paige Glass Co., said he worked on the house for 2½ years before the designers showed up with their expensive accessories. “The whole reason to do it is because it’s fun,” he said. “My only question was whether they could pull it off, because three months ago there was so much construction it was absolute chaos. And it’s a testament to cooperation that it worked.” Paige’s grandfather, who started the company, also worked on the famous Tower of Jewels, which was part of the 1915 Panama Pacific International Exposition here. Paige Glass opened four years after the 1906 earthquake. “It was a good time to have a glass company,” Paige said. |
