Modern Elegance

This project is very near and dear to my heart.  Not only are the owners beautiful people whom I can now claim as friends, but their food is simply exquisite.  After 21 years and numerous accolades,  I am truly honored and humbled to have had a hand in giving this renowned restaurant a fresh new look.  

I had the opportunity to once again work with the brilliant Crosby Dove as we documented the new look of Paley's Place Restaurant.  As usual, there are almost too many great shots and so I would like to share a few extras here,  as well as some behind the scenes pictures (including "befores") taken on my iPhone.

Nestled on a leafy street in Northwest Portland, Paley's Place is located inside a charming Victorian home.

The newly refinished tabletops just gleam!

Welcoming flowers at the entry.

Crosby at work, always getting the best angles! (This is him taking the previous picture)

A private nook in the back dining room.

The porch has four tables which are a lovely place to eat in the warmer months.

BEFORE:  dark, serious, and slightly dated.

BEFORE:  all the red accents detract from the art.

BEFORE: The front dining room.  You can see that all the windows had sheers and drapes, and everything felt much darker.
