Photos forthcoming upon project completion…stay tuned please.

…said our Wilsonville clients. As we talked further, they mentioned how much they admire the magnolia tree out their dining room window. At that moment, our inspiration was born.

With nature as our guide, we selected a soothing green for the lower cabinets and a blossom white for the uppers to bring this once dark galley kitchen to life. We then layered on white quartz countertops and a show stopping organic tile to create a light and airy space. Warm touches of antique brass and wood shelving complete the design for this truly inviting ‘heart of the home’.

1986 KITCHEN REMODEL…Check! It was definitely time to say goodbye to the lowered soffits, oak cabinetry and tired appliances. The original entrance to the dining room was a 30” pocket door and the home owner shared “it never felt like a part of the house”. Opening this wall was our first objective and we are thrilled with the outcome. The new entryway brings in more natural light, enlarges the overall feel of the kitchen and creates this fantastic flow from the dining room all the way to the family room.

An exquisite mixture of metals and rich, moody colors set the tone for this Lake Oswego remodel. For a touch of romance, a dreamy mantle was added to the Master Bedroom.

After all the hard work of downsizing and moving across town, my clients thought it would be refreshing to have a professional designer arrange their new haven.

As for me, hanging their stunning artwork and placing their beautiful furniture and accessories throughout the newly remodeled ranch style home was more like a play date than a work project.

As the former Visual Director for Pendleton Woolen Mills, I had the honor of designing the new concept store located at the Portland Airport in 2012. 

With my love of the mill's authentic aura, creating the design concept 'Industrial Mill Chic' came naturally. Scouring behind-the-scene areas of the mill was truly an inspirational adventure. Machine gears, scales, bobbins and bins were unearthed and brought back to life. These treasured and genuine finds became the perfect visual cues for brand story-telling while adding interest and intrigue to the overall shopping experience.

‘Celebrating Pets’ is Alyson Whitney’s company mantra and the inspiration behind everything she creates. If you’re a pet lover, check out her striking and whimsical tote bags, pillows, scarves and more. I’m tellin’ ya now, you won’t come away empty handed (or maybe it’s empty pawed ;).

Thank you Alyson, for the privilege of designing your seasonal kiosk at Bridgeport Village, I had a blast.

As a part of the 2013 History Makers events, I had the honor of creating a Pendleton Woolen Mills Exhibit at the Oregon Historical Society. The vignettes showcased the launch of the 'Thomas Kay' line, a seasonal snapshot of 'The Portland Collection' and highlighted display cases of historical events throughout the 800 square foot exhibit.
