I should’ve known back in 2023, when I wrote about Juliana’s gorgeous light green kitchen makeover, that it wouldn’t be the last time I’d see her interior work. It’s no surprise that seemingly everything Juliana touches turns into a piece of art, as she’s the senior art director of a wellness brand. But you have to see her latest work.
I was delighted to see how Juliana decorated her new rental in San Francisco’s Nob Hill neighborhood. One room in particular that stands out most is her gorgeous kitchen. The apartment building was constructed in 1925, but Juliana isn’t sure when the kitchen was last renovated (she found a newspaper from the ’80s while revamping the room, though!).
The original kitchen was in great condition when Juliana moved in, including original cabinets that had never been painted and held up well throughout the years. However, the room was extremely white. “I wanted to give my own modern spin on a classic Victorian San Francisco style. I had been getting really inspired by rich burgundy tones in homes, and I knew I needed to add some drama to that pretty stark white kitchen,” Juliana explains.
It took Juliana five months to transform the kitchen into what it is today, but she says she’ll continue editing as time goes on. The project cost around $500, and she was surprised to learn a lot about herself along the way. “It revealed a side of my decor taste I previously didn’t think would match my personality,” she admits. Plus, it was entirely DIY!
