ORSA Design

After searching in vain for an empty lot to build on, architect Brian White settled for a nondescript 1960s ranch that nobody else wanted—and proved that building from the ground up doesn’t always start on the ground. Photo by: John Clark | http://bit.ly/10cB9wv

TO ALL TREE HUGGERS: enjoy

"We are left in awe by the nobility of a tree, its eternal patience, its suffering caused by man and sometimes nature, its witness to thousands of years of earth's history, its creations of fabulous beauty. It does nothing but good, with its prodigious ability to serve, it gives off its bounty of oxygen while absorbing gases harmful to other living things. The tree and its pith live on. Its fruits feed us. Its branches shade and protect us. And, finally, when time and weather bring it down, its body offers timber for our houses and boards for our furniture. The tree lives on."
-George Nakashima

Bend Painting Firm Brightens Families' Lives Single mom battling brain cancer gets special gift from a Bend painting co. that gives back each year to those in need.

This was a really fun paint color consultation we did for a lovely couple in Aubrey Butte. I think my favorite, although it's hard to pick, is the guest room with the dark blue ceiling and gray walls. Ceilings are a great way to bring in an accent color in an unexpected way. Thanks for the referral Webfoot!
