Somewhere in between the tours and the meals where I gorged myself, I made some room to do a little window shopping. I stumbled across a store that focuses on modern furniture (straight out of my History class- shout out to Julie Wolfe!)
I think lighting might be one of the most influential changes (besides paint) that you can make to a room. These are some beautiful fixtures- I'm digging the hanging chandelier.
If you don't already know this about me, I like green. Maybe a little too much, actually.
I love the historical timeline the store paired with the display of chairs.
Ah, Barcelona chair, you are pretty.
Stumbling upon the store was great, but I sure as heck couldn't afford anything on my student budget. The one thing I did purchase in Portland (besides the aforementioned food), was this book I picked up at Powell's. It turned out to be the best purchase I could have made for both my personal interest as well as the research I was doing for school. I highly recommend it if you ever find yourself in Portland!
That about concludes the shopping I was able to fit into my trip. I have a couple more Portland posts to make- Portland week is turning into Portland 3 weeks.
So, there were only 2 posts this week. I have been crazy busy. I'm talking running-on-coffee-hair-standing-straight-up-circles-under-the-eyes-busy. I run from one place to the next to the next. I purposefully packed my summer full of activities and work, but I may need to ease up- if only to do more blogging! On a side note, I am really enjoying my internships and learning alot.
