Be Still My Beating Heart! Where oh where do I start!!! Pink marble, more pink marble and even more pink marble!! THIS is mid century modern at its very best!
๐
Imagine opening one of a kind oversized copper carved double doors that showcase a grand entryway and graceful green copper patinas inside and outside, on ceiling details and even on every gutter and downspout.
๐
Then imagine even more and more pink marble! And then, just when you think youโve seen it all, youโre smacked in the face with drop dead gorgeous green hued, never to be found again stonework, that is featured up front and in fabulous art form, absolutely EVERYWHERE!!! And letโs not forget the idyllic gardens that surround the home and mimic and marry the beauty of Eden and Japanese zen perfectly.

Step outside into the outdoor entertainment space and marvel at the wonder of the 20 manicured acres and the 180 deg view of the magical West Coast Cascade Mountains and majestical Mount Hood to the right.
๐
Then top that with the savvy and sexy approval of world renowned architect Steven Chase who designed this beauty in 1987, and you find yourself transported to Design Heaven!!
๐
And then I get to pinch myself!!!! Why? Because the new owners picked me to play house with this 7,500 sq ft masterpiece!!! ๐
Iโve had a lot of great projects in my day, but in terms of design and itโs period challenge .... this tops them all! ๐
THIS is my dream project!!! I am both humbled and honored to guide my absolutely fabulous and gracious clients on their very first design adventure! I feel so very blessed to have the opportunity to bring this grand dame back to life and to honor her in true Hollywood Regency style. I am going to be able to delve into the luxurious and glamorous world of the yesteryear Hollywood movie era. It doesnโt get any better than that!

It goes to show, if you sew the seeds of โfeel goodโ and not only โlook goodโ quality design early on in your career, you will attract clients who want more than just pretty shiny things. Sometimes you truly luck out and end up working with folks who share the same meaningful intentions of life itself.
