Some people take to heart twin cities – especially when the sister city of San Francisco to Paris.
Sharon Haag, director of the French-room upscale boutique, Lilith, and her husband John, a painter and real estate agent, are both Francophiles.
“We sent our son Gavin to the French-American school,” said Haag.
They travel in France as soon as they can.
For the Haags, the San Francisco-Paris route is even more – they should be DNA. They have decorated their apartment near the Embarcadero in the French style. Bright, bold, important paintings – many of John – almost completely cover the white walls, providing a splash of color that saturates the room from floor to ceiling. There are furniture covered too brightly mixed with sculpture and dozens of art books that overflow onto the floor.
“We like to see everything,” said Haag.
The effect is “to fashion, France” – a bit of Paris in the city.
“My house is wonderful,” said Haag. “There are tables everywhere. It is a modern apartment and French art. John’s been an oil painter, now he is a watercolorist. ”
The color is ubiquitous in the living room. Even the beds are in red and black. But the Board of the Haags’ is all white, “because my husband does not like any color on a bed and I do not support all the colors on the leaves.”
The apartment on the third floor has a large room with sliding door that leads to “a beautiful outdoor terrace, where the couple entertains.
“It’s like an outdoor room. San Francisco living at its best.”
With a view that includes the Embarcadero and the Alcoa Building, the Haags always have a camera ready. “John takes photographs, paintings and buildings,” said Haag.
It was synchronous Lilith chose Fillmore Street San Francisco, “like a SOHO San Francisco, as their first store outside New York for their clothing line very French. Other shops are in Paris, Osaka, Japan, Belgium and South Africa. Lilith on Fillmore is set to open in mid-February.
Some notable art includes a pair of series-Andy Warhol limited edition of his show “Myth”, framed in red. “Myth” includes Howdy Doody, Greta Garbo, Mickey Mouse and Santa Claus, and hangs in the kitchen.
There’s a photo of Judy Dater, whose work is at the Museum of Modern Art San Francisco Art.
“I like the pictures of our son does not have Paris,” said Haag.
The Haags have a table by Eileen Gray, whose work is also in the Museum of Art, a former Parsons table, and a sculpture by Gale Wagner, a balance of red balls to be suspended above the ground.
“They mean something,” said Haag. “Everything means something here.”
