Early in my design career, when I practiced in Omaha, NE, I participated in a Symphony/ASID Designer Showhouse. The room was round making art placement challenging so I used an easel. This expert Seattle interior designer was fortunate to have Larry Ferguson add his art with a portrait of my daughter and me in vintage clothing. That’s when I became inspired with black and white photography. In the photo below, you can see the black and white portrait on an antique easel. Note how the wallpaper I selected emphasizes the round room. The desk finish is trompe l’oeil. This project was a very creative exercise.

Landscapes and portraits are design friendly additions to an interior design. They are a reminder of events and times in our lives.

All of the images in this post are from Larry Ferguson Studios.

Yes, I confess, this expert Seattle interior designer adores this appliance. Beyond a great dishwasher for space challenged condos or homes, the Miele 18″ integrated dishwasher is a perfect solution for quick cleaning of stemware, bowls and glasses when placed in a butler’s pantry. Think of it in a media center/game room. For those who love to entertain, this is a super addition to the appliance roster. Of course, it is very energy efficient and uses minimal water.

Though I am mainly a Seattle interior designer, I also work with clients in Portland since I lived there for over four years. Last week I was excited to see a blog post by my friend Sonu commenting on the ‘treasures of Portland’. Sonu writes a great blog, Living in Color with Sonu. We became friends over the three years I participated on the Benjamin Moore Residential Color Advisory Committee and continue to stay in touch.

Actually I was in Portland when I read her blog post which made her comments even more enjoyable. There are great places to shop and see eye candy in and around the Pearl District. One store that is very well know is Hive. Another I enjoy is Relish.

You can explore the Pearl District and expect to take in some great art like this.

A great way to get around the Pearl and the Northwest area (also has wonderful boutiques and restaurants) is via the streetcar.

Next month I will tour the Street of Dreams PDX and share my thoughts as well as interview one of the designers, Kimberlee Jaynes, who is a friend and design colleague.

You may want to make Portland and the Pearl District a vacation destination. What do you think?
