Gary Spain Design

I first found out about Gary Spain in House Beautiful magazine -- he is an interior designer based in San Francisco who has some lovely homes in his portfolio that you and I can peek in on today. His work gives a fresh twist to more traditional furnishings and I like how well he layers textures, patterns and colors because the results are welcoming and cozy but also a bit decadent and luxurious.

What elements in these rooms do you appreciate? I like the brown bathroom with that old-fashioned toilet (I know, right -- of all things to pick out I like the toilet! LOL) and the round white coffee table with the black base along with all of that pink and black -- pretty!
