Sometimes getting creative in the kitchen can be difficult, especially around a holiday.  I want to cook dishes that I know and am comfortable with, rather than risking it.  However, this Easter, let’s get creative and put a new spin on Easter Brunch.

STYLE FILES – Color Me Happy With Pastels

March 20, 2013 by Leave a Comment

Portland OR. Interior Design Company

As we learned in last years’ Perfectly Pastels post, these lovely soft colors have always worked in kids’ rooms but started to venture to other rooms in the house.  We are now seeing a trend with pastels.  They are transforming to a more modern hue in today’s home designs.

DIY – Give New Light To Your Lampshades

March 15, 2013 by 2 Comments

Portland OR. Interior Design Company

One of my favorite accessories for a room is a beautiful lamp.  Obviously functional, a lamp can shed light as well as pull a room together with color and pattern.  I rarely buy a lamp without having to customize the shade.  Many lighting companies are now capitalizing on this bright idea.   However, you don’t have to be restricted to what you see ready made online.  We have found a fantastic tutorial from the House of Fifty by Janell Beals blog that shows us how to recover a lampshade to make it fit perfectly in your own decor.

We have some wonderful fabric vendors that carry unique designs for that special piece.  There are hundreds to choose from, these are just a few from Greenhouse Fabrics.  Let us know if you would like to order your fabric for this or any project.

STYLE FILES – Updated Chic

March 12, 2013 by Leave a Comment

Portland OR. Interior Design Company

Chic (pron.: /ˈʃiːk/), meaning “stylish” or “smart”, is an element of fashion.

When most people hear the word “Chic” in reference to interior design, they also link it with “Shabby.”  But, as you can see in the definition above, chic is ahead of the trend no matter what your style preference may be.  Because design is constantly “updating”, I wanted to share the chic styles of interior design with you.
