This one-bedroom apartment has a lot of things going for it. Its in San Franciscos Bellaire Tower, the iconic Art Deco skyscraper thats also known as the Superman building. That building is set in the very desirable Russian Hill neighborhood, which you may know for Lombard Street, the cable car line, and its incomparable views. However, it was a little short on space for a couple who wanted to use it as their pied--terre. Designer Caitlin Jones Ghajars solve? One of the best Murphy beds weve ever seen. A Murphy bed in a dining room is a new one for me! Jones Ghajar says, laughing.Jones Ghajar also delivered on her clients desire for a colorful aesthetic she describes as accidentally Wes Anderson, drawing on vintage items and a rainbow palette. I encourage people to be brave and really go for it [when it comes to color] because what you end up with is something that feels vibrant and happy, she says. And isnt that what we all want to live in?FAST FACTSDESIGNER: Caitlin Jones Ghajar of Caitlin Jones DesignLOCATION: San Francisco, CaliforniaTHE SPACE: A one-bedroom, one-bathroom apartment with historic bonesBe brave and go for it [when it comes to color] because what you end up with is something that feels vibrant and happy. Isnt that what we all want to live in?EXTERIORThe apartments character outweighed its petite size.Bess FridayThe entrance to Bellaire Tower, a historic Art Deco building completed in 1930.They considered some larger units in newer buildings and decided to prioritize the character and the charm of this building, Jones Ghajar says.ENTRYWAYA creative new layout is much more functional.Bess FridayCeiling light: Vaughan Pershore. Runner: vintage, from Driscoll Robbins. Gallery wall framing: Painters Place. Console: Darren Ransdell Design. Chair: Soane, in Fortuny fabric.To maximize space, Jones Ghajar spent a lot of time going over the flow of the unit. One smart change was reorienting the entryway, which originally led to a weird, underutilized closet. This allowed her to squeeze in a library nook (high on the clients wish list!) and create a seamless flow into the living room. I joke a lot of times that I have a special gift for sticking a 10-pound house in a five-pound bag, she says. The vintage brass table is the first of many brass touches throughout the apartment. The gallery wall displays pieces from the 1920s to the present day, in a nod to all the lives this apartment has lived.DINING AREAA Murphy bed makes this space multifunctional.Bess FridayMurphy bed: fabricated by Thomas Diedrich Cabinets. Paint: Au Contraire, C2 Paint. Pulls: Nanz Hardware. Glasses: from Sue Fisher King.The owners are a married couple with four grown boys, and they want their kids to be able to use the apartment too. This meant that this unit needed to sleep more people. Enter: the Murphy bed.Jones Ghajar and her team concealed the bed behind new custom paneling. It feels more like it has always been there, she says. Art Decoinspired cabinet pulls add some welcome sparkle.LIVING ROOMIts filled with vintage furniture, revived in new fabrics.Bess FridayIt was really important to the client that we use a lot of vintage items to reduce the footprint of the project, Jones Ghajar says. We invested in high-quality pieces and gave them a second life. A vintage George Smith sofa that was re-covered in cobalt blue velvet ties back to the high-gloss cabinetry of the library. The furniture is in a range of colors, but she ensured they have a similar level of saturation so the room still feels very balanced.Bess FridayRug: vintage. Pillow (on sofa): from Sue Fisher King. Floor lamp: Soane. Cocktail table: Maison Ramsay.Bess FridayDrapery hardware: Tuell and Reynolds fromDeSousa Hughes. Pillow: Holland & Sherry.The other notable feature is the lighting, says Jones Ghajar, who says finding interesting fixtures is one of her passions. She pulled a handful of vintage pieces and newer options from brands like The Urban Electric Co. They all feel like jewelry in the space, she says.Bess FridayChandelier: The Urban Electric Co.KITCHENHigh-gloss finishes add to the glamour.Bess FridayPaint: Calypso Green, Benjamin Moore. Hardware: Waterworks. Hanging shelves: Amuneal. Refrigerator: Miele. Wood panels: custom, Light Wave Laser. Ceiling lights: The Urban Electric Co.Its a fully functioning kitchen with a cooktop and all of that, Jones Ghajar says, but it really was about having tea in the afternoon and a cocktail before you go out for dinner. To give it the upscale feel of a fancy hotel bar, the designer lacquered the cabinets in an opulent emerald green. The fan motif refrigerator panel and tile reference the buildings Art Deco design.BEDROOMThe view called for an equally show-stopping wallpaper.Bess Friday Nothing is more accidentally Wes Anderson than this trim and wallpaper combination, Jones Ghajar says. We knew we wanted a hand-painted wallpaper and just fell in love with this one. The Gracie design is completely customizable, and Jones Ghajar and her team picked every single color in it. This particular kind of blue lends itself really well to the vistas that are beyond, so you get some Bay view looks, she adds. And having a little bit of that green undertone in the blue paper really lends itself well to translating to those views beyond. You can see the Golden Gate Bridge.Bess FridayWallpaper: Gracie. Trim paint: Ella, C2 Paint. Cabinet: Chairish.Bess FridayLamp: The Future Perfect. Drapery Hardware: Houles. Drapery fabric and trim: Scalamandre. Chair fabric: Zoffany.The old walls had recesses that made wallpapering a challenge. We had to be meticulous with the measuring and execution, the designer says. We created detailed elevations of every wall to ensure the birds and other elements were perfectly placed.BATHROOMThey wanted to keep the original character intact.Bess FridayNew tile: Latch Tile. Plumbing: Waterworks. Sconces: Original BTC. Roman shade: custom, in Timorous Beasties fabric. Mirror: custom, by Painters Place, in Farrow & Ball Brassica.Preserving the original bathroom tileand making it work in a modern schemewas another challenge. We wanted to tie it in beautifully to everything thats happening elsewhere in the apartment, Jones Ghajar says. It took some legwork to find the exact right color tile to replace original ones that had cracked. To balance the green, she reached for an unexpected choice: lilac. She drenched the walls and ceiling in it and even had a mirror made to match. It works: The purple balances out the green and picks up colors in the bedroom, the rest of the apartment, and beyond, in the city.
