Here's What We've Been Up To

I’ve tried to let our work do all the talking he

I’ve tried to let our work do all the talking here and have shied away from getting too personal (probably to my detriment in some ways), but I’ve found during these confusing and unpredictable times that the most vulnerable and honest people are the ones I’m clinging to. I think I’d be missing out if I didn’t join the raw conversation about what Coronavirus is doing to my business, my family and my community. For starters, we completely shut down all staging operations and as a result, our income is down by more than 50%. I found that we weren’t able to work safely and the health and well-being of my team was at risk. Some of our design projects got put on hold, some didn’t. It’s hard to know what will happen from one day to the next. I’m scared for the health of my loved ones and I hurt over the financial burden this is causing so many people. But I’m also in wonder of humanity and the ways in which we’ve banded together to support one another. I’m grateful to our first responders and healthcare workers, for truck drivers and grocery store workers and teachers and parents. And I’m eternally grateful for my wife, my rock in all this, and our precious pups (lil Midge didn’t make it into this photo). I do not take for granted what a gift these circumstances have also been - for my relationships, for rest, for unbridled snacking. I hope you’re able to find a little silver lining every day, too. ❤️

This Killingsworth cutie went pending in a matter

This Killingsworth cutie went pending in a matter of days. Blame the pandemic or the selling skills of @mypdxprops - either way, it’s a status change we’re stoked about. Amen? . . . . #interiorstyling #homestaging #homestagingworks #stagedtosell #homestager #propertstyling #pdxrealestate #portlandrealestate

There’s always one piece that really ignites a design concept. When we saw the Kirkeby bed by @bobby, we knew it was the one and I’ve spent every isolated hour figuring out how to get one for myself. It’s LUSCIOUS. #cedarhousemodel . . . . #bobbyberk #interiordesigner #interiodesign #bedroomdecor #bedroomgoals #bedroomdesign #bedroominspo #interiors #interiorstyling #homedecor

Put the final touches on the Cedar House model unit this morning and then GTFO because that’s the last thing I have to do in the world before I hunker down for the coming weeks. Hope you all are finding something to smile about today. For me it was this gorgeous extra long lumbar pillow from @the_citizenry. #cedarhousemodel . . . . #bedroom #bedroomdecor #cabinvibes #interiors #interiordesign #interiordesigner #thecitizenry #schoolhouse #schoolhouseliving #homedesign #interiorstyling

Installed an entire 2-bed apartment basically by myself because that’s what design work looks like when there’s a pandemic. So grateful to @mattietiegreen for leading the charge on this design and to @ericadero for accessorizing the heck out of it. #cedarhousemodel . . . . #cabinvibes #interiors #interiordesigner #livingroom #livingroomdecor #livingroominspo #cabinfever #interiorstyling #interiorstylist #howwehome #schoolhouseliving

We’re pretty much staging in shifts these days to socially distance ourselves from each other. It’s a wild time we’re in as a business and I’m not sure we’ll walk away unscathed, but we won’t go down without a fight. Thank you to our realtors who continue listing homes for us to stage - we so appreciate the work! This Killingsworth cutie hits the market soon thanks to the lovely @mypdxprops. ❤️
