When entering this downtown San Mateo condo, your eyes are drawn by the 20 foot high ceiling in the living room, which is even more magnified by the enormously tall custom window directly ahead. The beautiful crystal chandelier in the dining area adds elegance to the overall area.

Immediately, I decide to stage this residence with a slight “bling” Hollywood feel and using the classic colors of white and black. The neighborhood includes other high end condos where even celebrities reside.
