Irvington District, Portland, Oregon

Guestroom 

This room was functioning as a personal overflow space for the homeowners, and now needed to be used as a second guestroom.  A joy for local artwork, a wonderful collection of vintage rag dolls as well as a framed map of wonderland from the homeowners' childhood served as inspiration for the project. Space to organize and a bed for guests to sleep, were our priorities.

Working with existing furnishings and bedding, we needed to bring a cohesive design to the space.   Since color was welcome-we knew the best accent color for this space was red! We added some much needed light in the form of table lamps and a floor lamp.  The red chair above functions for guests as well as a desk chair for a dresser/desk vintage piece located just beyond the floor lamp on the left. The rag dolls found their new home on the new double bed and a wine cabinet that was already in the space worked well as an end table in addition to a yarn organizer. 

The storage solution came in the form of this handsome custom built-in. This new piece of furniture also gave space to display some of the local art work that the homeowners have collected over the years. It's also a great way to fully utilize an angled wall.  

Dining With A Twist!

Greetings!

This summer has been a busy past couple of months for the staff at IYID. We are currently working on a new restaurant project located right here in downtown Portland, just one block from the water front. There has been many changes and additions to the design and we can't wait for guests to come see and experience this family-friendly dining experience. This restaurant has been designed with a twist for a chic and modern look that will be sure to satisfy your taste-buds.
