My Favorite Shops in PDX
Posted on | June 23, 2011 | 7 Comments
Chelsea from {frolic!} was sweet enough to be my tour guide for the day in Portland. In the morning we headed up to the Columbia River Gorge and then came back to city for lunch at the Swedish style cafe, Broder. We cruised around town checking out a few of Chelsea’s beloved neighborhoods and popping into her favorites shops. Below my picks for home/lifestyle shops in PDX.
For lunch: pickles, potato pancakes and Swedish meatballs on a challah roll at Broder.

Ink & Peat a floral design studio and home decor shop; shares my love for textiles and patterning with a beautiful selection of ceramics, bedding, and linens. I picked up a pair of Kerry Cassill pillowcases in the purple teal water floral pattern.

Vintage french linens, ceramics and well-edited accessories can be found at Marguerite. I picked a vintage French chemise with a beautiful lace accent. The chemise was handmade by nuns in the 1920′s embroidered with a custom monogram for new brides. The crisp white linen had me thinking of Jane Austen and wearing it on hot summer nights on the beach in Maine this summer. Yes, I realize my imagination is getting away from me…vintage linen can do that to ya!

I found this shop on my own wandering around the neighborhood near my hotel. Utility style accessories, saws and gadgets feels like a designer hardware store. I picked up a stripe apron by Pointer Brand for working in the garden and around the house. The staff was super sweet and let me test the apron filling the pockets with tools before purchasing.

Small Rope Mirrors

I spotted this rope mirror in the recent Ballard Designs catalog. I really like it. So cute for a small bathroom, hallway or an odd wall. It’s nautical without being over-the-top. It reminds of something John Derian would pick up at a fleamarket for his house in Provincetown.
Below a rope mirror my mom found at L.L. Bean. The round is pretty cute too! Or try to make-your-own via Nate Berkus.
