Last week I taught a class: ‘How to transform a space in your home in one day’. I call these one day room transformations. One lucky attendee of the class won the one day room makeover. Betty Melcher of Portland, Oregon selected her living room for the one day makeover.
The class participated in a hands-on learning activity in her living [...]

With the 2009 Northwest Natural Street of Dreams launching, it is back to my clients that have so patiently shared my time over the past two a half months.

If you are looking to embark on a remodeling or redecorating project and lack direction, here is a step-by-step process to get underway.
1.) First, start with what inspires you
What inspires you is probably in your home. Perhaps even in the room you want to transform. Do you have a piece of artwork, an area rug, [...]

Is it just me or is it getting harder to identify real life photography from architectural renderings?
I admit I sometimes long for the days of hand drawing. I love my pencils and watercolors, but I find most project budgets don’t warrant this type of time intensive work. I have even started to outsource hand drawings [...]

I have had the same housekeeper for 4 years now. Her name is Patty. She is a retired nurse and cleans houses to supplement her income. Patty is like a gift from God every two weeks when she comes to my house. There is nothing better than coming home every other Tuesday to clean hardwood [...]

Stereotypes are funny. Two weeks ago I walked into the home of Gavin Dawson, the morning radio personality for 95.5FM the Game. My job was to create the Ultimate Man Cave for Gavin and his roommate Jesse. After 15 minutes, Jesse’s outspoken charming wit couldn’t contain itself. “We thought you would be some over-the-top gay [...]

I meet people regularly that comment on my approachability. “You are so down to earth,” I frequently hear. I smile at the compliment, but I am also uneasy at the stereotype of interior designers. As professionals we all specialize in certain areas – I focus on helping great people create exceptional, personalized spaces for their [...]

Like me, you have probably noticed a large number of retailers advertising furniture closeout sales in the past few months. In Beaverton, Oregon near Washington Square, several stores announced bankruptcy closeouts in sequence over the past several months. First Levitz, Wickes and then Bassett Furniture.
