Design Dream: Cisco Home

One Sunday, after browsing the Urban Air Market (another San Francisco gem) I stumbled across Cisco Home, in Hayes Valley.

I've never been able to define my style, but Cisco Home says it all. It's the perfect marriage; industrial meets shabby chic with a vintage flare, combined with a hint of modern, traditional and eclectic.

I love the exposed beam ceiling of the store, with the occasional skylight filling the large space with warmth, along with tufting, and nail head detailing on select pieces seated next to the floor lamp made of natural wood branches and Edison bulbs; it's unexpected yet perfect. The unique qualities, and subtle attention to detail are exactly what I hope to find in a piece of furniture that I'd fall in love with and keep forever.

It's no secret that I love to shop. Whether I am in the market or not, I just love to take it all in, get ideas, and be inspired. There are certain stores that speak to me more than others and this one was screaming! Everything I saw was making me want to sell everything I own and start from scratch.

The icing on the cake was reading the Cisco Home mission statement (pictured above), hearing about their commitment to the environment and working with local companies and artists to "make a journey toward sustainable living." I love finding companies that embrace our natural resources, aim to create a unique product and do it all in style.

I highly recommend a visit to one of their stores, and if you aren't fortunate enough to live near one you can always check out their fabulous pieces online (here).

Thanks for reading and I wish you a very happy Tuesday!
