This house is a hundred year old home in Oregon USA that was given an amazing renovation to make it fresh and contemporary for a young family. Jessica Helgerson was the interior designer and this renovation won the 2011 Pacific Northwest Design Award for Best Residential Project Under $400,000.
I quite simply LOVE LOVE LOVE this home. For fear of repeating my “love this” “how fabulous” etc I will just make note of all the amazing design features.
Marble subway tile has been used more for a feature than just a splashback. This kitchen would be in my top 5 of all time. It had generous proportions, lots of natural light, shaker style cabinetry, white with touch of grey and fantastic light pendants.
Looking at the kitchen from another angle, these glass door cabinets serve as a room divider into the dining area. How clever and stylish and they go all the way to the ceiling. It gives the kitchen a light airy feel and is a great place to keep glassware.
Round tables not that common, but this one is a perfect fit for this dining room. A dark charcoal on the walls continues the grey concept. Different strengths of what might be the same colour throughout the house.
This room shows how modern contemporary pieces { like the light pendant and sofa} can work perfectly with traditional {armoire} & classic style {the rest of the room}. Bravo Jessica Helgerson for a stunning collection of styles that makes this room unique and oh so very stylish.
The living room takes on a more modern vibe. The Eero Saarinen Womb Chair {here in red} is one of my all time favourite pieces of furniture. It is so comfortable and the cream one is on my wish list.
This laundry on a landing looks great, but I have a few ???? about this. Where is the sink? Is this the main washing area? What happens when laundry piles up {as it does with a young family} and where is your ironing board etc? Anyway the cabinetry is stunning.
The powder room is elegant and has made great use of a small space. The grey in a lovely soft tone and the wall scones bring a luxury touch to the space.
The bathroom a fantastic window treatment that is waterproof and great hexagon floor tile.

Hope you enjoyed this fabulous home.


















Yes, this is lovely! I too, love the wall of cabinets between the kitchen and dining room. I might have made the doorway larger to merge the two rooms a bit more, but I’ll take it as is, if someone gave it to me…no complaints!
I love all of the clear glass globes on the lighting!!!!
beautiful, what if the paint palate used?
