Portland is currently losing its mind over objects and things. There is good reason for this- there are a lot of perfect things in Portland. A beautiful, well designed object can transform a desk, a windowsill, a room. We are still throwing most of our money into our closet-pits, but if you’re feeling domestic…   [...]
