The “New Old Style”
I’ve been thinking a lot lately about the “new” modern style that’s been emerging here in Portland.

I went to Mama Mia Trattoria last night and it had all these things in abundance, along with stunningly deep red walls and a fountain in the doorway. It made me think that Mama Mia’s might actually be a classy Italian restaurant …

Function and Ornamentation
When it comes to interior design, a large part of your home’s interior is probably not designed. How much of the adornment of your home is deliberate and how much just happened over the years? When you walk through your house, how much of it do you actually see and how much fades …
