SCOUT @ QUARTERS D

One of the great pleasures in what I do is
meeting and working with creative people.
Paul Scott Silvera is one of those people.
 With his talent and vision he has
created a fabulous new store in San Diego.

His store is part of a major restoration of the

former Naval Training Center in Point Loma.

The property has eight building and houses

 dating  back to 1920, some were used for barracks and

the house where SCOUT at QUARTERS D

is located was the Officer's home.  He is the

 flagship store and there will be other shops that will

make up the arts and cultural district.

On my first meeting with Paul the place was

in major construction and he had me wear

a hard hat on our tour of the house.

We actually had our meeting under

a big tree on the beautiful grounds.

To say I was excited to go to the opening

is an understatement.  I knew it was going

to be special and I wasn't disappointed.

As you walk up the driveway to the

garage entrance there was a cute

new Fiat 500 (which happens to be

my favorite car) greeting you.

Inside sticking out of the sun roof were

DASH AND ALBERT rugs.  I knew I

was in for a treat.

You entered through the garage with

a beautiful indoor outdoor rug on the

floor.  This is no ordinary garage.

On my first visit they were putting in the

windows and they really turned out well.

I think this was my favorite room,

the light coming in and making the

view part of the room.

I was also happy to have a nice showing

of AIDAN GRAY HOME through out

the house.  I will take you for a little tour.

He turned one of the bedrooms into

the DASH AND ALBERT rug room.

I love the way he used the swatch

displays in the four corners of

the room.  They take on a look of

a decorative accessory instead of a fixture.

Another one of the bedrooms is devoted
to FARROW AND BALL the prestigious
and well established English paint company.

A nice patio area leading out to the back

of the house.

Point Loma is at the southern part of San Diego

sitting on a hill and this property has

a spectacular view of the city along

with beautiful grounds.

I know in the weeks and months ahead you will be

reading about this project and also about the

store.  Paul also has a store in Berkeley

where he specializes in staging.
