PORTLAND RUMMER RENOVATION

Over the past 10 months, we have been working on updating a beautiful Rummer in Beaverton for a delightful couple. The remodel has included removing the existing cork floors and refinishing the original concrete floors, painting both the interior and exterior, replacing all the interior doors and trim, updating the bathroom with new floor tile and vanity counters, and adding custom roller shades for privacy.

The palette was simple. White and black. The exterior was painted a matte black, with glossy black beams that carry through to the interior. The wood eaves were left exposed to add warmth and contrast. The front door was painted a fun mint green. The interior walls are painted a soft white with white trim and doors creating a blank slate for brightly colored furnishings and artwork.

We have slowly, but surely started furnishing the space with a gorgeous custom leather sofa from Perch Furniture, set a top a graphic chevron rug. Both a live edge coffee table and walnut slab dining table were hand built by our talented clients. A set of vintage, green leather Eames Chairs with new wood bases, and a stunning pendant light compliment the new dining table. The clients found a pair of Bertoia diamond chairs for a killer deal which we painted the same mint green as the door.  We designed a deep built-in bench with custom seat cushions in the nook off the kitchen which will for now serve as a loungy reading space, with plans to add a small kitchen table and two chairs (not pictured).

We are currently working on the master bedroom which will include a custom bedframe with built-in nightstands, light fixtures, art and bedding.

Here are a few photos of our progress:

NW SWANKY SPLIT-LEVEL

PEGASUS

This project was a remodel for the main floor of this 80's split-level. We were asked to help a growing family turn their new home from drab to dazzling.  All the walls in the main house were beige so we brightened up the palette with white walls and painted the wood beams a contrasting dark charcoal to emphasize the volume and architectural character of the space. A soft, warm gray was used to accent the fireplace wall. Furniture and accessories were brought in with bright poppy colors and a mix of luxurious and rustic materials. 

A new 8' fir scissor door replaced the sliding glass door, opening up the space to the outdoor covered patio.  A fir entry door with ribbed glass was put in place along with new fir doors throughout the house, replacing the existing Craftsman style doors. The existing fireplace was remodeled with an asymmetrical design, adding grandeur and focus to the sunken living room. The fireplace was faced with a dark slate tile to compliment the beams. It was topped with a Bastogne walnut mantel. A beautiful sputnik chandelier adds drama to the dining room along with a graphic rug and custom powder coated Tolix chairs for a punch of color. Our favorite piece in the project was hanging the enormous Pegasus the couple had tucked away, over the fireplace as a dramatic focal point for the living room. A swanky turquoise sofa and metallic shag rug were added to the sunken living room to compliment their existing furniture. Two existing club chairs were reupholstered in a bright orange felt, while an existing high backed danish chair was recovered in a soft neutral leather. Other plans for the remodel include adding foliage, artwork and accessories to finish the spaces. We are also in the process of designing the family room and guest room. Below are several pictures of our progress.
