Since 1977, the most esteemed designers on the West Coast have been using their talents to transform mansions and simultaneously raise funds for the San Francisco University High School Financial Aid Program. Of the 40 people selected to take part in this year’s San Francisco Decorator Showcase, Marin is turning out in a big way, with six participants hailing from the county.
Visitors will be able to view their work at the Presidio Heights mansion from April 27 to May 27, and if the house seems familiar, it is: known as “Le Petit Trianon,” it was also the site of the Decorator Showcase in 1982 and was modeled after the Petit Trianon chateau in France at the Palace of Versailles. Built from 1902 to 1904, the S.F. manse has been the setting for numerous concerts, including performances by then–child prodigies Yehudi Menuhin and Isaac Stern.
