Mill Valley: Summer House

| Summer House.....Leather Arm Chairs, Knit "Pouf" Ottoman, Wood Carved Mirror |
Last Friday, I drove over to Marin to drop off materials for a potential project (keeping my fingers crossed!). For those of you not in California, Marin is the county just North of San Francisco across the Golden Gate Bridge. It is beautiful lush green hilly country bordered on the West by the Pacific Ocean and on the East by the San Francisco Bay.
Since I was so close, I never pass up a chance to wander over to the charming town of Mill Valley. Mill Valley is home to some of my favorite shops, one of which is Summer House. Summer House has great home decor....all of the things I love....and they recently opened an annex which houses home furnishings (upholstery, case goods, lighting, and one of a kind finds....)

Summer House seems to put together that perfect mix of rustic and relaxed, elegant comfort, exotic finds, antiques and custom pieces.
I thought I would share the wealth....
