This stylish family home was featured in New York Times last year and it belongs to Brian Faherty and his family. Faherty is the owner of Schoolhouse Electric Supply & Co, a lighting and homewares company based in Portland, Oregon - a brand whose products I have admired in magazine and interiors.

Also I would like to note that I was nominated by various readers for the SiteSmart Love the Web. I was chuffed to hear that readers who enjoy my blog took the time to nominate me, and along with such great company too. It meant a lot to read the lovely comments and to hear that you enjoy this blog - thank you for sharing the love.
