sellwood writer's loft
When Portland based writer Donald Miller was looking to make improvements to his Sellwood loft, he asked a friend for a referral. He and Angela were like old friends almost immediately. “Don naturally has good design taste and knows what he likes when he sees it. He is true to an earthy color palette; he likes Craftsman lines, cozy spaces, and gravitates to things that give him inspiration, memories and nostalgia. We made key changes that personalized his loft and surrounded him with these desires,” smiles Angela.
Like all writers, Don is an avid book reader, and we helped him display his books in a way that they were assessable and meaningful – building a custom bookshelf in the living room. Don is also a world traveler, and had many mementos from travels. Although, it was necessary to add accessory pieces to his home, we were very careful in our selection process. We wanted pieces that carried a story, and didn’t appear that they were mass produced in the home décor market. For example, we found a 1930’s typewriter in Alameda with a Portland story for Don’s coffee table.
We LOVE and recommend Don’s books. For more information: www.donmilleris.com
