NW 13th Avenue loft, Portland

This amazing loft is located in the recently transformed Pearl District in Portland, in an old brick and concrete building that was originally a warehouse and manufacturing facility and has been transformed by one of our favourite interior designers, Jessica Helgerson.

Basically, we love every single thing about this loft.

The colour palette of raw timber, with tan leather... dark earthy grey timber ceiling beams and the soft white walls creates a sense of contrast right from the get go. From the glazed brick tiles in the kitchen, to the custom made antique chinese door console table to the vintage Moroccan rug - it is all ... perfect. 

Our favourite part of this loft apartment (and the thing that initially drew us to it) are the Vintage Eames DKW leather, steel, and wood chairs... TO . DIE . FOR .

Jessica Helgerson you are a genius. 

:: These are ACE ::

Dubbed by the New York Times as "the country's most original hotel"

ACE HOTELS are popping up all over the US.

Currently these hotels can be found in

Portland, Seattle, New York, Palm Springs and Los Angeles.

The aesthetic is a mixture of industrial, romantic, vintage, eclectic, rustic....

pretty much all of the decor styles we live and swear by //

Aztec rugs, industrial lighting, brass tapware, trunk tables,  and

macrame hanging from the ceiling are a few features you can expect to see

around these 'hipster' hotels... 

"Ace Hotel reinvents hospitality to make something fresh, energized and human. We embrace and reimagine classic buildings and interesting opportunities, creating a sense of history and place while reinterpreting those details for a sense of modern bohemia that marries the pragmatic with the romantic." 

And they even have an effing amazing blog!

What hotel has a blog?

Pretty damn cool.
