How a Pair of Snowboarding Caterers Finally Got Some Sleep!

If you are the hottest catering team in San Francisco, and also live in a huge, light-filled loft facing south on a hill, you might have a little trouble sleeping in after those late-night weddings and soirees! These hip urbanites love where they live with one tiny exception..the bright daylight streaming into their bedroom was waking them up wa-a-a-y too early after pulling very late nighters.

Simple Fit to the rescue! When I was offered a chance to try this amazingly chic and utterly "instant-install" shade, I thought of my clients Lisa Tomasi and Steven McCormick of Pear & Pepper Fine Catering & Events. They live in a shade-challenged sun-drenched gorgeous loft facing south.

The whole process could not have been simpler: I measured the inside of their window, placed my order, and received the shade two days later. It took longer walking up the vast stairway in their glorious loft than it actually took to install the shade! 30 seconds, tops! I was ecstatic at the "no problem" attitude of this shade, and Lisa and Steven are thrilled to have a place to hibernate while the sun shines brightly outside.

Lisa loves succulents and poufs! she scored these

turquoise poufs blocks away at the Alemany Flea Market!

and the lucky succulents enjoy lots of natural light

in this sun-drenched loft

no one could sleep in a bedroom with this brilliant light shining in!

literally 30 seconds later, a block out shade clicked into place;

strong, sturdy shades these are, and why not? they are

made right up in Sonoma county!

up in the stratosphere of their gorgeous, two level, huge

loft home!

a deck that gets southern exposure is the perfect place for

gardening and cookouts

descending the stairway view over their living room: yep, those are

snowboards mounted on the wall..can you tell these two know to the

minute how long it takes to get to Tahoe when the snow reports come in?

their mid-century sensibilities show in the

chic dining area Lisa and Steven have created to serve

lucky family and friends their amazing culinary creations

another adorable and lucky little

succulent!

the entryway table where keys and mail are kept; they

love flea market finds and quirky signs

just in case you missed the snowboard wall, here's another

view; I love the graphic quality the boards create

Steven cleverly used these spring loaded twisting

fixtures to hold snowboards snugly to the wall

Check out this cool video on YouTube. Use them in your home, your guest cottage, your office, in houses that are staged for sale, your rented apartment..they offer a chic and sensible solution. Without a screwdriver in sight, these shades click into place, and can go with you when you move.
