4.16.2012///A KITCHEN NOOK, A COMMERCIAL PROJECT, 23 HOURS IN PORTLAND + A WHOLE HELL OF A LOT OF COFFEE


///Moving to other areas of the new place this past week with a new kitchen area. I have actually been tracking the chairs all morning. EN ROUTE. I hope to enjoy breakfast here in the morning but currently it is being used a wiring/electrical station for a lamp for a clients entry way.


///In the quest to become an adult (well see) and with an upcoming Spring Fete' at my place I have purchased some dinner ware from which the entire table will be designed around. I look forward to this quite a bit.



///I was VERY randomly handed the task of designing and project managing a new furniture store that will be located in Ballard. After a short meeting last night at the space, some bourbon and a little BBQ I was back at home laying out the space as the demo work started just this morning! Excited for the opportunity to branch out. More to come!



///Having not been to the Seattle Arctic Club yet here in Seattle, I visited and was blown away by some of the design, most notably this detail of the ceiling in the ballroom...


///...so blown away in fact that I needed a cookie afterwords.


///I took a quick 24 hour trip to Portland to pay my respects to a dear friend and former client who passed away a few weeks back after a long battle with cancer. His life was full of laughter and he inspired everyone who he came in contact with. I hadn't been back to Portland since opening the Blackbird store down there this past summer, so it was also a chance to catch up with some friends and to relax for a short while...


///...and relax we did.



///a last coffee at heart in Portland and it was on the road back to Seattle for us. I head to Palm Springs on Wednesday to work on finishing up a big chunk of a project which I cant wait to share with you. The warm weather and seeing my dear clients will be a nice treat indeed. I will be sure to post pictures from that when I return.

BE WELL.
