Cedar Mill Home

1. We provided interior design services for this mid-century modern home in Portland's Cedar Hills neighborhood. The home is low to the ground, has a shallow pitched roof, and was designed in a northwest vernacular. The interior spaces feature long, horizontal lines. SRM designed the sofa, pillows, coffee table, and bed seen in this photo.

2. Our client's collections of vintage women's handbags and shoes are displayed here in custom cabinetry. Before the remodel, most of this dressing area was an unused portion of the garage.

3. To highlight the client's collections, we created alcoves throughout the house used for display. Here, we show an example of a special place delineated by a decorative column and lit for drama and interest.  

4. The coffee tables in this photo are constructed from traditional Indian braziers. When these cooking tools were used for their original purpose, they were buried in the ground. The pots were badly burned and soiled from years of use. We had most of the char removed, leaving enough for an interesting patina. We also designed the metal ring base and the detail for the inlaid glass that forms the table's top.

5. We designed custom furniture to respond to the home's long rooms, including this bench. The base is made of custom sheet metal and the seats are covered in flawless imported leather. The leg details on this bench tie to other furniture in the home. This client has a wonderful collection of East Asian art and artifacts; here, a canoe is mounted on the wall above the bench.
