Dream Houses!

Enjoy these wonderful ideas from Dream Houses!

The incredible homes in this year's Northwest Natural Street of Dreams are some of the best I have ever toured in my 15 years as an interior designer, particularly the setting in a vineyard overlooking the majestic Mt. Hood. I have been to many home tours in the United States and other countries during those years. 

Here I am showcasing interior design highlights with the help of Shelly Pinnock of Elle M. Photography.
To die for!  Lighted Wall Sconces on the fireplace and attractive wood floor.






























Marvelous oversized chandelier plus integrated indoor/outdoors.
Amazing craftsmanship on the wall.

Yes, you can incorporate different trim colors!













It's in the elegant 

details -- compatible color/materials in varied sizes and layout.


Glass door that turns into an awning when open.
Great example of scale and proportion -- large chandelier with combination of wing back chairs and benches.

Exquisite chandelier and beautiful display of woodwork plus a pitched ceiling make for a beautiful bedroom.
Here's a warm and beautiful space with glass-framed cornerless door system connecting the indoors to the outdoor cooking space. The large chandelier and use of different materials achieve the look.

Love the use of color here ...gold, brown, pink, gray and shades of blue-green on a warm white background wall color.














The symmetry in this room is outstanding, from the built-ins to the lighting and furniture layout.
I hope you enjoyed my picture tour. 
A big thanks to Elle M. photography for these amazing photographs.

I will be sharing more pictures from two other Street of Dream homes in my next blog.

Stay tuned and happy dreams!

If you are ready to try something new, consider the following: Matte Black & Grey Finishes. via houzz Kitchen Sink --   What’s “in” now is concrete, stone, copper and granite composite sinks in darker hues of gray, bronze or black. (see picture above) Last year , satin brass made its debut in kitchens and that trend continues in other interior spaces.
