2013 San Francisco Decorator Showcase | MB Jessee

Without a doubt, the most exciting event of the year in the interior design world in the San Francisco Bay Area is the SF Decorator Showcase. Every year for more than three decades, the most talented and creative design minds in the Bay Area descend on a home chosen from the City’s most prestigious neighborhoods. Each designer is given a space in the home to transform. The result, year after year, is a feast for the senses. With such design luminaries as Applegate Tran, Marsh & Clark Design, Chambers + Chambers, and Leverone Design (and still more!!) this year promises to be just as spectacular!

We have loved working in the Showcase homes over the years. The ultra-cool fashion blogger’s studio from Catherine Kwong in 2012 and Val Fiscalini’s sumptuous and light-splashed Shangri-La bath from 2011 are personal favorites!

This year we were very pleased to be tasked with painting much of the interior of the home. It can be intense in the Showcase home in the weeks leading up to the opening. Dozens of projects, occurring simulataneously. An army of skilled tradespersons taking the field in one residence: electricians, carpenters, painters, tapers, landscapers, paperhangers, and of course, interior designers. Dizzying! But fun and exciting.

The entry of the grand home was an enormous space, with mirrored walls extending up two stories. The designers though, wanted walls where the mirrors were. MB Jessee took a novel approach: we caulked the seams of the mirrored panels and then prepared the mirror faces as if they were walls! After our caulking, we primed and sprayed out the walls. Voila! Soaring walls ready for designers.

The San Francisco Decorator Showcase home opens April 27th and is located at 2800 Pacific at Divisadero. Hope to see you there!

— Heidi B

“Julie,Just to let you know I am very appreciative of your crew catching the plumbing/mold problem. It was very astute of them. I wanted to let you know that again your crew has done excellent work here, please pass this along to Mr. Jessee. There are some bumps in the road here, but the painting and your crew has not been one of them. Their work is the only thing going right currently, and this crew is very nice and respectful. It is much appreciated. Thank you again.”

“Very easy to work with, they did an outstanding job with our project of re-painting our painting our kitchen cabinets. Given the scope of the job and that our kitchen is roughly half of our upstairs living area they did a fantastic job of minimizing the mess. Workmanship was top notch, would definitely recommend.”

— Vince Scola

“The kitchen looks NEW! You guys are amazing.”

“Matt, Julie & Ricardo, I just wanted to take this opportunity to thank the three of you for the wonderful job you did in hosting the SFBA NARI Chapter Meeting on Wednesday evening. Everything was perfect from beginning to end. Members and guests alike walked away with a truly positive experience. The "painter for a day" and the cookies in the paint cans were an absolute brilliant touch and received rave reviews. What a wonderful way to do such positive marketing. Thanks again for a truly memorable experience for our members and guests. You are valued as a NARI member.”

— Judy Tufo, SFBA NARI Executive Director

“I can't say enough about how courteous and professional my foreman was. He was on time every morning and arrived cheerful and ready to go. He is highly organized and very thoughtful. He was extremely careful and respectful when moving my belongings - a mature professional.”

— Nora Robinson

“M.B. Jessee painted the exterior of my Spanish house over 9 years ago, and they did such an incredible job that they are still getting referrals from me today. The paint is holding up perfectly -- there is absolutely no peeling chipping or any other deterioration. I still remember that my final walk-through list consisted of items written on one side of a 3x5 index card (and I'm REAL picky about my house!) However, when Matt and I did that walk-through over HALF the items were no longer an issue, as his team had noticed them first and they had already been resolved.”

— JoAnn Newcomb

“Awesome work by highly experienced, professional painters. They were: Conscious about the amount of time it would take. Ours had a lot of pre-work and took 3 weeks. Accommodating when we added a few last-minute changes Understanding when a heatwave hit and we remove some of the plastic sheeting over windows, which they had to put back up the next day. Accessible, especially the on-site crew (Hi Jose & Victor!) -- always answering questions and checking in. The end result is a perfect paint job that makes our 94-year-old house look brand new. I would definitely hire MBJ again”

— Stacey R.

“Everyone I dealt with was nice, helpful, and very professional. The price was reasonable! (I didn't feel like I was getting the "San Francisco price." The attention to detail and work quality was excellent. They did what they said they would do in the exact timeframe they said they would do. Highly recommend!”

— Tim Tyson

“Thank you for the support you have given the Women's Cancer Resource Center over the past year!”

— Margo - Director Women's Cancer Resource Center

“In all the years I've worked with MB Jessee, I'm always so impressed by your crews. They are so respectful of everything--you never even know they're there! Except that the paint looks amazing when they're gone. We've had one showing of our home and already have an offer. I'm sure it is because the paint looks so beautiful.”

— Erin T.

“Richard and crew have been great, for sure. As much as I look forward to having the job done and my house back in order, I really enjoyed having them around. You should feel really good about how they represent your company.”

— Jessica Dodson
