My husband and I have just finished the remodeling of our 1915 hunting lodge located in Maplewood. We have honed river rock, granite, copper and butcher-block countertops, plus an interior barn door with turn-of-the-century hand-forged hardware. A two-inch-thick cedar shake roof is on the house, which also has a classic Great Room.

We are avid fans of Oregon Home and know this would be a cover story! How can we be in your next issue?

Editor S.D. says: "Hunting lodge? Copper countertops? Let me just say, ‘Wow, wow and wow!’ I’m always looking for great projects to feature. Please take a few digital shots of key focal points (three or four will do) and email them to me at This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it . If I see something that I’ve yet to show my readers, I’ll give you a call and schedule a walk-through, during which Oregon Home art director Barbara Osborne will take another 80 or so shots. After that, we’ll work up a mock layout to see whether the package has legs!"

Seedy motels and a nonexistent street scene used to define this inner east gateway to downtown Portland, but the transformation of a former Travel Lodge into the hipster Jupiter Hotel (the site of the successful art fair The Affair The Jupiter in Sept.) has helped turn this district into a worthy shopping outpost.

Portland Green

Image

We’ve scoured Portland to find the latest shops that’ve gone green! Everything you need­—or desire—can be found with sustainability in mind. The eco-conscious have hung out their shingles all over town in converted warehouses, turn-of-the-century homes, and even old Maytag repair shops. From the reclaimed to the local, from the handmade to the sustainable, here are some of our new favorite places!
