Go Shopping with SCD

Sarah Coombs March 7, 2016

There are lots of things I love about running a design firm, but one of the best is getting to scope out fantastic housewares and furniture for my clients. I love the thrill of finding that perfect thing: that graceful sofa, the prettiest table, the most cunning little lamp. It's very satisfying to see all these items come together to make a beautiful and personal room.

Still, most people don't find quite so much joy in the thrill of that hunt. There are literally hundreds of thousands of objects for sale, and cobbling them together can be totally overwhelming. Of course, that's where a designer can help. But if that service is out of reach, a carefully curated store is the next best thing. And that's why I'm so excited to announce the opening of my own online shop.

We have so many beautiful objects for sale. Case in point: this fantastic coffee table below. It's a pretty great match for the lovely one shown above, no?

Check out the shop to see this and all of our other items for sale. And if you're looking for an easy way to keep tabs on our stock, follow this Pinterest board. I'll be adding my top picks to it weekly. Enjoy!

If you follow news here at SCD, then you know that we've recently partnered with Decorist to provide online consultations. (Readers outside of the Bay Area: take note!) But what you may not know is that Decorist offers more than design services. They run a blog too, chock full of great ideas and inspiration. So when they asked us to pick our favorite boho style pillows for a recent post, we couldn't say no.

SCD in Oakland Magazine: the hottest looks in kitchens

Sarah Coombs June 18, 2015

Redoing your kitchen can be a scary proposition. That doesn't mean you need to play it safe, though. I've got a primer on how to create a space that will thrill you now, and be appealing for a long time to come. I wrote this article for a recent issue of Oakland Magazine, and I've excerpted the text for you in this post.

SCD in Oakland Magazine: houseplants liven things up

Sarah Coombs May 24, 2015

No matter what your style, your home is bound to be improved by a bit of green. Yes, money helps, of course, but I'm talking about that other green: houseplants. Nothing else provides the same beautifully sculptural quality; they're just the ticket for making your room come alive. However, not all plants are created equal, and there are a few rules for deploying them successfully. I wrote about the topic for a recent issue of Oakland Magazine, and I've excerpted the text for you in this post.

SCD in Oakland Magazine: hip ways to display family photos

Sarah Coombs May 12, 2015

If you're fortunate enough to enjoy a happy family, you've likely got one big design challenge on your hands. How do you display all the photos? You could cluster a bunch of little frames around the house, sure, but that's not a particularly modern look. And the dusting! No one wants that. Luckily there are plenty of great alternatives, and I wrote about them for a recent issue of Oakland Magazine. Read on for more.
