Marina Style- Junior League of San Francisco Home Tour

August 10th, 2008 By Ginger Wilcox

It is home tour time again!! The Junior League of San Francisco’s 14th Annual Home Tour. “A Day by the Bay” will be held on Saturday, September 20, 2008 in several private residences throughout the Marina district and will include an outdoor artisan marketplace and a VIP area with gourmet food and wine pairings.

This event is a must attend for anyone interested in interior design, architecture, luxury homes, or San Francisco real estate. There will also be a special Preview Night Party the night before on Friday, September 19th for those who are interested in seeing the homes at night and attending a gala event afterwards. I was fortunate enough to chair the Junior League Home Tour two years ago (Give My Regards to Broadway Tour). This amount of volunteers and effort put into this tour is astounding, and the results are phenomenal.
