IRVINGTON HOME | PORTLAND, OREGON

SCOPE: Full home remodel.

CONTRACTOR: Green Gables

A Light-Filled Craftsman Revival with Global Influence

After years of living abroad in Asia, our clients were ready to return to the Pacific Northwest and put down roots in Portland, Oregon. Their new home—a classic Craftsman-style residence—offered beautiful bones and historic charm, and our team was brought in to design a cohesive, full-home interior that honored the architectural heritage while infusing it with a playful, elevated, and globally inspired sensibility.

A Modern Take on Traditional Craftsmanship

We preserved the home’s traditional detailing while introducing elements that felt fresh, artistic, and personal. Soft white walls, colorful wallpaper, and light wood flooring created a clean canvas layered over the restored Craftsman millwork. The result is a design that feels both rooted in history and effortlessly modern.

In the kitchen, we installed new classic face-frame cabinetry paired with a striking French range and arabesque tile backsplash—a mix of timeless materials and soft geometry that brings warmth and sophistication to the heart of the home. The Primary Bathroom serves as a serene, artful retreat. We combined concrete tile flooring, a long wood vanity with handmade brass pulls, and a freestanding soaking tub to create a spa-like atmosphere with a distinctive personality. The vanity hardware was custom-designed, drawing inspiration from the couple’s eclectic mix of collected furnishings from their time abroad.

A Home That Reflects a Journey

This project is a celebration of global perspective, craftsmanship, and personal expression. From the palette to the finishes, every detail was curated to reflect the clients’ story—where they’ve been and where they’re headed—with beauty, balance, and lasting style.
