Honoring the Past is a feature for Portland Spaces on a truly remarkable mid-century modern home in SW Portland. The home had just one previous owner, the man who built it, based on a home he'd seen on a Sunset mag tour in Vancouver, B.C. Notable for its redwood paneling (from my old stomping grounds in the Santa Cruz mountains) and gorgeous rock fireplace, as well as floor to ceiling windows along one whole side of the house, it's clearly loved by its new owners who are carefully restoring it themselves. And Lincoln Barbour's photos are incredible.

Love this little profile for Portland Spaces on Portland ceramicist Lisa Hough and her Pigeon Toe Ceramics. Since I wrote Head to Toe Lisa got married and has continued to grow Pigeon Toe like crazy with new products all the time. Be sure to see her website!

It was so fun writing this piece on Portland-based fashion designer Holly Stalder and her home with husband Ryan Baldoz. Stalder gets a lot of attention for having founded the Seapland boutique that for many years was the showcase for independent designers in Portland. But for being a leader, she is one of the most down-to-earth people you'll ever meet. Fierce, but real. And their house is a labor of love. In the July/August 2008 issue of Portland Spaces magazine, this is a "Good Life" which is a profile through the lens of space and object. See the full article as a pdf.
