Inspired by the Holiday :: Happy Valentines Day!

I will totally admit to being comfortable with my feminine side and these amazing rooms, all aglow in some hue of fuchsia or rose, are today's worthy inspiration. When I think of pink I automatically picture cherry blossoms, which in full bloom against a blue blue sky are breathtaking! That's probably why I like my pink paired with a sort of turquoise best, but as these photos attest, pink in moderation works well with most everything. It's a playful warm color that energizes a room, wether as a wall paint or a patterned fabric. These rooms show a great mix of tailored pieces with vintage finds, certain pinks have that unmistakeable retro appeal that add instant history to a room. Memories of a spring in Paris or a winter holiday break at the Parker Palm Springs? Sure, pink can take you there....

I'm an architect & writer based in Portland, Oregon. I'm passionate about broadcasting the value of design and established  Y/Wd in 2012 as a design resource with a mission to connect, create & communicate. 

I design spaces both large & small. I'm a list maker, researcher & a card-carrying introvert. I relish problem solving & finding the perfect fit. I'm a fan of process and storytelling - finding connections between seemingly random ideas is my super power!  

Life is full of daily doses of inspiration, I'm happy to share a bit with you. ---- Jen
