today i am very excited to show the interior of one of my very favorite apartments in portland (or anywhere, for that matter.) graphic designer jennifer muller of lucky tangerine designs and her photographer husband michael heiko have lived around the corner from me with their son finn for several years since moving to maine from brooklyn, new york, though we only met this past summer. i'm so glad we finally did - i've recently had the pleasure to work with jennifer on several graphic design projects and am in love with her eye and style. when i saw their wonderful apartment for the first time i was totally smitten. 
their kitchen is full of sunlight and a big pantry houses a terrific selection of thrifted 50s dinnerware and glasses. there's a huge array of wonderful artwork everywhere - i especially like all of the prints with big and bold typeface throughout their house.
((you might enjoy the wee busts of charles and ray eames on the kitchen shelf if you look closely.)) 
in the dining room jennifer has taken over a china cabinet with new and vintage fabric stash + some beautiful yarn. doesn't it look terrific?
the hallway has a great angela adams rug and some wonderful prints on the walls. 
in the living room they have several different pieces of karen gelardi's work on display, nestled amidst sea urchins and milk glass - karen is one of my favorite local portland artists. 
i love the hable construction pillows on their sofa a whole lot.
their house is cozy and inviting, full of great eye candy, and feels like a real home.
thanks so much for the peek, jennifer and michael!
very cool!

The way the baby scale is turned into an art object is freaking awesome!
I just picture somebody casually walking down the hall and thinking to themselves "oh a scale how perfect I was feeling curious" then picking up their toddler.

I've been looking for something to show my husband that would explain how I'd like our house to look -- sort of vintage but modern at the same time, with a sense of humor and lots of color. I sent this link to him and he loved it, too. Score one for the good guys. : )
