Steps off of a 45 degree corner eliminates the "boxed" look. This shot demonstrates the good looks of black balusters and white/tan railing combination.

This basement transformation redefines the modern "man cave" by prioritizing texture and acoustic performance. The deep charcoal walls create a sophisticated, moody backdrop that allows the custom white oak slat paneling and reclaimed brick archway to truly pop. By mixing raw industrial elements like exposed timber beams with refined luxury finishes—such as the leather Chesterfield and plaid patterned carpet—we’ve created a multi-sensory retreat that feels both expansive and intimate.

JAC INTERIORS They say you can tell a lot about a person from their room. Well whoever calls this room their own must be a girl of chic determination and sleek taste. With french white bed dressings and a fun patterned wall, this bedroom is a study in how to playfully pull the attention of the eye to all the right places. A purple color-banded roman shade makes for a modern pop of color that highlights the windows whether pulled down fully or drawn all the way up to let the light in. This room is the story of when epic interior design meets spectacular custom window treatments.

Converted from an existing detached garage, this Guest Suite is offered as a vacation rental in the Arbor Lodge neighborhood of North Portland. An early decision to preserve the garage rafter ties guided the concept of a modern cabin, juxtaposing knotty wood with clean white forms, utilitarian flooring with soft, cozy furnishings. Mindful of its studio-apartment layout, the open vaulted ceiling maximizes the volume and hints to lofted cabin sleeping quarters
