This kitchen was designed for a young family who loves to cook and entertain. Much thought was put into the cabinet layout and storage solutions. Smart storage solution highlights include: roll-out pantries, deep drawers with wooden drawer dividers for all kitchen items, a roll-out liquor cabinet and a baking center complete with kitchenaid lift. This kitchen is highly functional and perfect for entertaining! Construction by: Sargent Construction ( http://sargentconst.squarespace.com/) Photo by: Denise Fenewald

This loft apartment is on Portland’s NW 13th Avenue, one of Portland’s most interesting streets. Located in the recently transformed Pearl District, the street is a busy ensemble of shops and apartments housed in late-19th and early-20th-century loft warehouse structures, with the buildings largely intact as originally built, including special features such as water towers, loading docks, old brick, and original painted signs.
