Located at 465 Marina Boulevard in the heart of San Francisco’s Marina District, the 2018 San Francisco Decorator Showcase has once again brought together Northern California’s top interior and landscape designers to benefit the San Francisco University High School financial aid program.
With Dina Bandman, de Gournay is delighted to introduce a new beading technique, playfully labelled “Lemon Drop Lullaby” for this sophisticated take on a baby’s nursery. Gender neutral yellow and mint substitute traditional pink or blue to create an exquisite nursery design. Tailored arched window treatments have been hand-painted in the same pattern with their branches ascending towards a ceiling adorned with pale yellow lattice work. Inspired by the uplifting essence of California lemon trees, the room exudes cheer with its hand-painted and sequin embellished wallpaper.
About Dina Bandman
Dina Bandman always knew she wanted to be an interior designer, but her path to design was not ordinary. After completing an undergraduate degree at Vanderbilt University, Dina went to law school and earned her J.D degree in New York before ultimately deciding to follow her passion for interior design.
She went on to study Interior Design at New York’s acclaimed Art Institute and began working with Katie Leede of Digs by Katie (now Katie Leede studio). A former Old Hollywood fanatic, Dina was inspired by Katie’s more boho, eclectic, and vibrant aesthetic-- an experience to which she credits her knowledge and appreciation for a wide range of interior styles and antiques. In 2015, she relocated to San Francisco and went to work alongside Shelley Cahan of Shelley & Company until ultimately deciding to set up her own design studio, Dina Bandman Interiors.
Dina’s style embraces all the influences of the cities she has been lucky to call home-- California Cool, Southern Charm, Miami Art Deco, and New York Traditional. She prides herself on her ability to merge disparate styles without sacrificing her client’s needs, creating bespoke spaces infused with individual personality reflective of her clients. Although she never pursued her law degree past passing the bar, she thanks her degree for making her a better designer - in a world where timelines and tenacity are ever important, she’s brings her ability to be analytical and a critical thinker to the table to deliver stunning projects, on time and on budget.

With Molie Malone, de Gournay is delighted to have contributed hand painted panels of the ‘Clouds’ and ‘Alto’ designs in the Entry and Stairway of the house. Inspired by the glint of the water that can almost be touched, the shimmering entrance greets guests as natural light bounces off the walls and invites you inside to explore. Thoughtfully paired with exquisite accessories, the space sets the tone for the rest of the house which is the epitome of California’s contemporary and modern aesthetic.
