White in San Francisco

A glass top was added to the vintage Art Nouveau table base that stands in the turret.

The Fridman family collected their china and enamelware during travels to Europe — as well as visits to a few all-American garage sales.

A reupholstered French Provincial settee, a Lucite coffee table and a hand-loomed wool rug in the living room. The unused fireplace was filled with a stack of oversize books.

In the entrance, fir floors with a rich, custom stain. A dress form displays a favourite coat.

Old mirrors, portraits, and photos line the front hallway walls.

A variety of vintage chairs in neutral colours surround the dining table. They found the pendant lamp at a Paris street market, and the china cabinet at a California antiques store.

Antique cast-iron bed with a cable-knit throw. A teacup lamp sits atop the turned-leg nightstand.
