Davis in Davis

I have a good friend who is a designer....which is only natural as we have a lot in common. We can talk design, love going to home tours, antique shops, furniture shops. When we go to the movies, we always notice the sets. When we drive we notice the architecture around us. We can ask each other's advice on our own homes. Perhaps you have friends like this?
Well...my friend Leanne
Davis, recently worked with a client in the town of Davis, home of UC Davis, which is about a 20 minute drive from Sacramento. Her client, David Rocke (a Distinguished Professor at UCD), was so happy with the results, he graciously hosted a house warming party for friends and neighbors about week ago. Leanne and I drove over a bit early so I could snap a few pictures.

The house is newly built by Eric Roe of Red Door Building Company (
ericroe@comcast.net). The style is a contemporary take on a South Western home.
Leanne took this cue from the desert and created a soft desert palette of sand, pale turquoisese, rust and other sunset colors.

Leanne found some wonderful woven leather topped metal tables by
Kolkka for the Family Room which she put together with leather arm chairs creating a warm and cozy space. I love the rusty red color on the walls!

Leanne designed a custom bedspread for the Master Bedroom in a rust tinted brown and silver stripe. The mirror also picked up on the silver we typically associate with desert jewelry.

If you are interested in homes in the Davis area, look up Realtor
Claire Black Slotten. She was the realtor in this case and knows Davis like the back of her hand.
So, that is my tale of Davis in Davis. I think Leanne will be doing more work here very soon.
