Lane’s Portland Condo
Now you can see why I was begging Lane for photos of his handsome home in Oregon. His eye for color and pattern, resourcefulness, and artistry make his home so beautiful, that you can’t visit without your jaw dropping.
Here are some things to learn from Lane:
COLOR: There are so many colors in these rooms, and they all tie in together. Have you pushed color to the limits like this?
BUDGET: Lane is budget conscious. Much of his furniture was purchased second hand, and reupholstered by Lane after having taken an upholstery class. This is not only cheaper, but adds to the personality in the room through the unique fabrics. He creates his own art. Also, when things are out of the budget, he makes it fit. His coral drawer pulls on the kitchen cabinetry were purchased two at a time until the collection was complete.
PATTERN: Lane throws out the rules, and puts all different patterns together. From the beautiful hand-painted wall mural (yes, he and his friend painted that), to the mis-matching tapestries on the bed, he displays them with confidence and they look amazing.
PRIVACY AND STYLE: Lane created a curtain wall in his bedroom, behind his headboard. This wall has raw silk curtains spanning the wall to keep the light and noise out, and to keep the warmth in.
There are so many other great things to learn from Lane’s style. See if there isn’t something you can pull from these photos that can work in your home.
