When Portland-based writer Donald Miller was looking to make improvements to his Sellwood loft, he asked a friend for a referral. He and Angela were like old buddies almost immediately. “Don naturally has good design taste and knows what he likes when he sees it. He is true to an earthy color palette; he likes Craftsman lines, cozy spaces, and gravitates to things that give him inspiration, memories and nostalgia. We made key changes that personalized his loft and surrounded him in pieces that told the story of his life, travels and aspirations,” Angela recalled.
Like all writers, Don is an avid book reader, and we helped him display his books in a way that they were accessible and meaningful – building a custom bookshelf in the living room. Don is also a world traveler, and had many mementos from journeys. Although, it was necessary to add accessory pieces to his home, we were very careful in our selection process. We wanted items that carried a story, and didn’t appear that they were mass produced in the home décor market. For example, we found a 1930’s typewriter in Portland’s Alameda District to serve as a focal point for Don’s coffee table – a piece that will no doubt launch many interesting conversations.
We LOVE and recommend Don’s books. For more information visit www.donmilleris.com

Soucie Horner, Ltd.
Juxtaposition: defined as two things placed close together with contrasting effect, the word epitomizes this downtown Chicago residence. A family home, it evinces comfort, calm, and connection. Here, chaise lounges nestle side-by-side, welcoming wine-sippers, book-readers, and fireplace-gazers. There, an upholstered kitchen banquette recalls the coziness of a favorite restaurant’s corner table. And yet – while an elegant refuge for a busy family, this home is also a place of work. Indeed, it is the worldwide headquarters of a lauded anti-aging skincare company, complete with full-time employees and their offices. To meld the dual functions the house serves so seamlessly, workspaces are lavished with the same hallmarks that distinguish family-oriented rooms: a focus on ease, an open-minded use of space, thoughtfully considered décor, and an imaginative use of color that awakens a mostly neutral palette with joyful visual interest. Lavender and chartreuse sing against black walls; tangerine and steel blue dot creamy hues with vivid punctuation. Still, quiet prevails, creating a timelessly tranquil backdrop for work, play, and everything in between.

Jason, an 11 year old boy and avid reader, loves his reading nook.
The use of two complimentary colors in this room are repeated in clever ways. The blue accent color is repeated on the wall circles and the back of Jason's bookcase.
The "Walter Circles" from Design Public are wood and come primed; they have adhesive on the back for easy installation. The poster was purchased from a museum gift shop and laminated at Kinko's. The wall mounted swing-arm-lamp gives Jason more surface space for his books and collections.
This 10' x 10' room makes use of every square inch. A floor to ceiling custom bookcase was built to hold all of Jason's books in addition to his gem and mineral collection. His room also has wall shelves (www.potterybarn.com) that hold a substantial amount of books without projecting into this small space. Jason's dad installed a small rounded "desk/shelf" under Jason's window to give him a place to do his homework and also act as a nightstand. Interior Design by Janice Peters

When working from home, he wants to be surrounded by personal comforts and corporate functionality. For this avid book reader and collector, he wishes his office to be amongst his books. As an executive, he sought the same desk configuration that is in his corporate office, albeit a smaller version. The library office needed to be built exactly to his specifications and fit well within the home.

The brief throughout was a need for practicality, and light. With that in mind, we created an intelligent, clean design that didn't run away with itself.
