The last 2 years have been overflowing with projects in the physical world...interiors are, after all, analog in the best sort of way. After catching our breath, we are re-entering the digital realm with renewed energy, and look forward to seeing you here as well as in the shop or in your home.

Here's to keeping up with all that is Spectacular & Beautiful!

First Thursday: The Art of Laura Janes & The Sofa of the Month

SpectacularDesign_FirstThursday_Jan2018.jpg

As the new year begins, we are mesmerized by the ethereal art of Laura Janes. Capturing the majestic dance of life, light and color, she dances through nature's endless, complex seduction, resulting in art that is always an affair of the heart.

Our Sofa of the Month, January, grounds Laura's deep blue painting. In our showroom, January is dressed in white velvet made to withstand anything — not even red wine can conquer it. You can test the power of this velvet tomorrow night, and if indestructible white velvet doesn't take your breath away, you can choose from a myriad of fabrics and leathers to create the sofa of your dreams.   

Please join us & experience the Art of Living With Awe.

— Artist Reception, Thursday, January 4th, from 6 - 8 pm —

First Thursday: The Art of Lilo Sermol

Spectacular-Design-www.spectacular-design.com-Portland-OR-First-Thursday-in-the-Pearl.jpg

In October, a jewelry maker came into Spectacular Design & I loved her energy and jewelry immediately. The colors, shapes, fluidity and buoyancy of Lilo Sermol's paper and metal creations were magnetic, matched only by her spirit. 

I asked about a trunk show, and she brought in an assortment of lovely pieces. I took her necklaces in my hands and started wrapping vases, thinking about pieces that would work for the home as well as the body.

Colorful, architectural, sometimes voluminous yet light as a feather — I think you will be bowled over by her work, too. Spectacular Design is excited to host Lilo's jewelry for the body and the home through the holidays. Buy what you see, or custom order for your vision.

Stop in for a treat, a sip, and a colorful evening.

Custom Lighting

• • • BEFORE • • •

PROBLEM:

One of the first challenges in this condo’s remodel was custom lighting. The existing light source was nowhere near the locations where illumination was needed. And the ceiling did not permit moving the electrical source, due to the cement floor of the unit above. One existing electrical box in the ceiling, in the wrong place, would have to power lights throughout the space.  

 

• • • AFTER • • •

SOLUTION:

To make the space work really well, I chose a transformer and track lighting to solve the problem. I curved the track through the space, and ended up with appropriate light above two sitting areas — a reading space in front of the fireplace on one side, and a dining table in the corner windows on the other.  

This photo shows the result above the dining area. More photos to come — as this project really is turning out spectacularly!
