And this just came into us. Oh, the joys of reclaimed architecture.
PORTLAND, Ore. – (September 10, 2007) – Architectural salvage-hounds in the Northwest have a new destination for discovering recycled treasures. Old Portland Hardware & Architectural, located in Southeast Portland at 41st and Division, spotlights streamlined collections of high-quality architectural antiques in a 4,500-square-foot showroom …
After a long haitus, Emma Juhlin came back at ‘cha with this interesting bit on ranch homes, including some interviews with the folks behind Atomic Ranch and a few dos and donts.
I’m a big fan of what Mike and Bev from Landfair Furniture use their blog as both an informational interior design hub and as a way to promote their physical storefront. Now it looks like they are moving to a larger location in Portland’s Pearl District. Thats a pretty kick ass move and puts them …

Seems I’m commonly spouting off about green condos here in Portland, complete with malice filled diatribes about hippies and hemp… And then I stumble across this USA Today article discussing the Southwest Waterfront project.

I just noticed a post over on the Landfair Furniture blog about needing some part time help. It looks like an excellent opportunity for an interior design student who wants to earn some extra cash and build a little reputation in the ID market.
Maybe, you are in school taking preparatory classes for a career as …

I attended an opening party for Ten 01 (1001 NW Couch - Website) last night. While the food samplings (I only ate the samples) were quite tasty, I hated being inside the building. It is yet another fatal attempt to be the exception to the phrase “form follows function”. In this case, it’s design and …
«Do these photos to the left look familiar? If you have spent anytime looking at real estate, and particularly condos, on Craigslist then I’m sure they do. [link].
It seems to be listed every other day, with the lowend price going down every week. I believe since I started recognizing this listing, the price of …
