Seeking Sunshine This bedroom has it even on a cloudy day!

I just completed this bedroom for my client and it makes me smile. The Northwest weather has been particularly cloudy and rainy now for months and months. This French Quarter bedding is bright without being too bold. The Lee furniture high backed chair covered in a hot pink with lots of texture sits nicely against the smokey gray blue wall color. Softening the whole room are the tone on tone patterned custom drapery panels. Ah... even on a cloudy day my client can wake up with a smile.

Barbara Barry visits Portland and leaves us all feeling inspired!

Portland interior designers were under Barbara Barry's spell while she enchanted us with her stories about how she designs- what she designs... and boy does she design... every thing from furniture, linens, luggage and tea, there is very little that Barbara cannot do! I was surprised to hear that Barbara has no formal education in design. She started her circuitous career studying wine and cheese making in France. She came back to the US and opened a wine & cheese store in Mendocino CA. Her customers were enthralled with Barbara's store interiors and asked her to create her magic in their homes...thus a new career was born. She moved to LA and was introduced by someone in the movie industry to a deep pocketed client. Her work was published and she was on her way to the charmed life that she lives today.
Barbara said she gets her inspiration from nature, the inside of a sea shell, a fig tree, an orange blossom. She left us all very inspired indeed!
