Hallways, They Tie a House Together | Lents

Image
Hallways Tie Your Home Together | Lents PDX Maybe your "dream hallway," isn't something you've imagined yet. Not the most exciting hallway. If you're considering a remodel, the hallway is something that deserves some thought. It's one of the first elements a visitor encounters when they enter your home - after the vestibule. In many homes it's also the main element tying much of the house together. Historically, halls were gathering places. Before the advent of efficient, central heating systems the main hall was kept warm with fireplaces and was used as a place for the community to come together for meals, not-so-messy chores and eating. It wasn't until more recently that many people had a second room, much less multiple rooms for sleeping, eating and meal preparation. Maybe it's natural that halls have receded in overall importance as architectural elements, but that doesn't mean they should not be beautiful, functional and well

DDIY - Load Bearing Walls | Oregon City

Don't Do It Yourself | Oregon City Somethings are better left to professionals, your remodel may be one of them. If you're uncertain about what walls in your home are load-bearing,  stop, drop the sledgehammer and call a licensed, INSURED general contractor. If you didn't know already, some walls in your house (called curtain walls) are just there to separate the space into rooms. Other walls, (load bearing) are there to hold your house up. There's a lot of information online on how to tell the difference between the two, maybe you've reviewed a lot of it. What you may not have reviewed are the many panicked message board posts from people who eschewed hiring a contractor, consulted the internet and removed the wrong wall. 

Small Space Solutions | Lake Oswego

Big Ideas For Small Spaces | Lake Oswego Do you have a tiny living space that you want to maximize? Small spaces can seem cluttered, no matter how much you try to pare down your belongings to fit.  There are a few easy fixes that don't involve removing walls or building an addition to house your stuff.  More light- whether it's lighter, sheer window coverings to replace dark, light blocking drapes, higher output bulbs in existing fixtures or more light fixtures in the space, a brighter space will look larger.  Lighter Paint- if your space seems dark, even with the addition of more light, maybe it's time to refresh a dark color palette in favor of lighter colors.  Use wall space more effectively- Wall-mounted shelving is a great option to get clutter under control. Whether it's books in the living room, spices in the kitchen or towels and toilet paper in the bathroom, a wall-mounted shelf gives your stuff a place to be and you some room to breath.

Carpet, Hardwoods and Laminates, Oh My! | Gresham, Or

Flooring to Fit Your Lifestyle | Gresham, Or Finding the right flooring can make your life easier and your home more inviting.  We've all been there. Your dream home is perfect! Except for the carpeting in the bathroom. Maybe you have cracking, dated linoleum in the kitchen. Have the hardwoods in the living room seen better days... much better days? If your flooring looks battered, it could be it's the wrong floor for the type of traffic that part of your house encounters. You don't want white shag carpet in your mudroom, do you?  On the subject of hardwoods, if you love the look but worry about damage from pets, did you know there's now tile designed to look just like hardwood? This type of floor is great for resisting scratches.  If you're klutzy- you know who you are... you might want to forgo tile, it will crack if you drop something hard enough and heavy enough. Maybe bamboo is a better option. There's a lot of factors that play into an ind

Transitional Design and You | Powelhurst Portland

Image
Transitional Design Transitional design is a trend that's been around for a while. Still, you shouldn't feel bad if it's new to you. In fact, that would be pretty appropriate. Simply put, transitional design is the blending of traditional, old-world with clean, modern and contemporary design. The result is often referred to as a balance between masculine and feminine. We think that may be one reason it's so popular in homes lived in by couples and families. It can provide a way to show off family antiques while still keeping a firm footing in modern design.
