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!

Quarry Lake kitchen reveal

Hello again! My message to you this month centers on a goal – to update a kitchen without changing its bones, the kitchen cabinets or countertops. We were up to the challenge! As you know, what an interior designer does is reveal concepts that might not be obvious but make such a big difference. The short version is that we relocated the TV into the living room so this family of four and a lovely dog could hang out there more often …since the space was not used much. (I will share the new living room space with you in the future. In this message, it’s about the kitchen). ©Elle M Photography ©Elle M Photography Moving the TV created a gathering space that was inviting and cozy and closer to the kitchen/island area. Everyone likes to be near the food! Paint is a wonderful way to create change.  The kitchen cabinets set the tone and, fortunately, this family is not afraid of bringing color into their home. The SW 9134 Delft gloss paint is t...

It gave me the opportunity to reconnect with old friends and clients not just in Oregon but also in Texas, Arizona, California and Washington.

Useful ideas on choosing a bookcase

Du interiors  Bookcases can be classical, fanciful, functional and personal …they really add to the anatomy of a room. They display your favorite reads as well as framed memories. There are so many options on deciding on the best for your nest. Here are important considerations. What Size Should Your Bookcase Be? The most basic consideration is size. How much space do you have in the room you have in mind? If space is ample, wide bookcases that measure several feet across are a good design idea. However, if room is small, go up! Taller bookcases work in space limitations, if you plan on placing a lot on them. Otherwise, one or more small bookcases would work.  Measure the room before you shop. What Type of Bookcase Do You Want? If you need inspiration, we suggest checking out houzz.com , Pinterest, Instagram, and so forth. There are so many choices on the market. What is Your Budget? Prices range from several hundred dollars to thousands if you want a custom built-...
