An open living space with a colorful sectional, bedding with multiple patterns, a palm tree, and painted French doors leading to the kitchen.

In the midst of the pandemic our client was looking for a respite - a place to recharge and think creatively outside of her WFH set up and busy family life. She closed on a 500sf studio apartment in NW Portland in the spring of 2021, and partnered with Casework to transform the space into her perfect personal getaway.

A narrow hall leading to the living space with wall hooks, a rotary phone, a small table with keys, a round wall mirror, and plush slippers and a rug.

“a place to grow old and feel forever young.”

Our client imagined the space as a backdrop for an affair with herself, a recharging station. Casework developed a number of color palette options, each just a vibrant as the next, filled with pastels, pattern and animal print. The end result is a power clash - feminine with an edge, some surprises and delight in the details.

Casey selected Kate Blairstone’s Tigress wallpaper for the entry - it’s fierce, bold and sets the tone for the apartment. Heirloom Roses, another Kate Blairstone wallpaper is installed in what once was a closet to create a semi-custom built-in headboard.
