Our designer member, @sharonhocking_interior_design was kind enough to give us another tour of the huge project she's been working on at @menucharetreat. Usually the house has beautiful views of The Gorge, but of course we were there on a day that looked like the set of a haunted movie 🍂 Swipe to see what she's done with the original primary suite. Interspersed with our stories about the @birchcommunityservices bathrooms, we will share more about what Sharon's accomplished at Menucha.

Way back around Christmas 2020, @nwsidportland and its exceptional Designer Resources "Gave the Gift of Design." Three design students from area schools submitted winning entries to transform the three heavily used bathrooms at the PDX non-profit, @birchcommunityservices. Here we are at our recent ribbon cutting ceremony for the newly transformed spaces. Swipe to see one of the befores, and follow along as we share more and tell you about all the great vendors who made this happen.

What is especially cool about the work at @lonesomepictopia is how at first glance, many of the patterns are comfortable and familiar. They resemble Victorian patterns by William Morris or Art Deco papers you knew from your grandmother's house. But when you get closer, you see they're exploring new frontiers. Their aptly named, Soloman's Seal, is organic and sinuous, but from the plant life grow human hands. Lazy Sunday is even more surprising, with tiny people lounging about, perfectly at home in the garden. Will you be specifying either in your next project?

During our recent visit to @lonesomepictopia, we also got the chance to learn about custom floor cloths by @Arielgracedesign . Her handmade canvas-based rugs are infinitely customizable. Choose your size, pattern, and colors. Even have it laid wall-to-wall!

Building a sample library you can rely on saves so much time in our line of work, so imagine how grateful we all were to leave @lonesomepictopia with beautiful packages of huge samples of so many of their spellbinding patterns. In this image alone, we see Dogwood, Eligans and Soloman's Seal in two color ways.

2022 has presented just as many challenges as the preceding 2 years, but NWSID Portland has gone out and had some fun in the world. We've initiated INTERIOR OUTINGS, where small groups of our designers venture out to learn from all the wonderful artisans, tradespeople and even auctioneers that make interior design in Portland so special. Here we are at @lonesomepictopia, a women-owned and led maker of wallpapers & murals. We learned so much from @melanieisantsy and @Sierra.catherine and we can't to share more over the coming days.

@woodardweave is the resource for woven runners. In this project, the runner wove its way through most of the house, informing the color palette of every room it touched.

Let the light in. Basement remodels don't have to be dark. They can be taken as an opportunity for an architectural language that is a little bit different from the rest of the house. @danielhouse.club

@thepeterspalding had a client who was gifted the watercolors shown here by a patient of his. They were the impetus to for the entire design. A home's art should reflect its inhabitants. 🎨
