A newly finished basement apartment in one of Portland’s gorgeous historic homes was a beautiful canvas for ATIID to create a warm, welcoming guest house. Area rugs provided rich texture, pattern and color inspiration for each room. Comfortable furnishings, cozy beds and thoughtful touches welcome guests for any length of stay. Our Signature Cocktail Table and Perfect Console and Cubes are showcased in the living room, and an extraordinary original work by Molly Cliff-Hilts pulls the warm color palette to the casual dining area. Custom window treatments offer texture and privacy. We provided every convenience for guests, from luxury layers of bedding and plenty of fluffy white towels to a kitchen stocked with the home chef’s every desire. Welcome home!

This transitional canopy bed really makes a statement. The bachelors chests in the two tone finish frame the bed and give it even more presence. The settee at the foot of the bed was designed for my client's dogs to sleep on.

Our goal: a polished and sophisticated room with sparkle. Muted seafoam bedding, repeated at the window seat daybed, introduces a calm, soothing feel, as does the gray tufted headboard. Our "bling" is added in the wallpaper behind the bed, the throw pillows and chandelier. Rhinestones on the tufted window covering are a nice touch. Photos by 618 Creative of Waterloo, IL

My clients came to me needing a serious update to their Master Bedroom that was beige, dark, and outdated. With 3 young children, I wanted to give them a space that felt like a retreat; calming, relaxing, and serene. By keeping a monochromatic color palette in taupes and whites, with a hint of wisteria, I was able to incorporate their traditional cherry bedroom set into a fresh and updated space, giving it "new life"! Subtle silver accents in the drawer pulls, drapery hardware, sunburst mirror, and nailhead trim on the upholstery adds a little sparkle and romance to the room.
