It Could Change Your Life
6 Aug
House Beautiful was right when they named Jessica Helgerson one of the top 25 young designers.
Every once in a while I’ll meander through a designer’s portfolio and say to myself “well what do we have here” ok no I don’t exactly say that but I’ll see something and think to myself now that’s the NEW new stuff, thats creative, thats taking a good risk.
Let’s begin…
Portland Four-Square, why is everything so freakin’ amazing in Portland?
That craftsman trim that everyone wants to paint crisp white (me included) got a dark treatment. In some pictures it looks like stain and in others it looks like paint.
From the dining room you walk in to BAM….fresh, clean, white kitchen paradise. You can’t tell me that this isn’t dreamy. It’s so clean, would you need to shower? It’s shiny, its chalky, its textured, its industrial and sunny all at once.

Jessica’s house…
Take a spin through Jessica’s portfolio, you won’t be dissapointed.
The Estate of things is written and managed by Sarah and Betsy, two long time friends with a shared passion for home decor, renovation, and stylized living. 
Sarah moved here in January 2010. Check out her progress by following
very pretty! for awhile my mom was thinking about painting our trim black, but I don’t know how well it would go with our house.
Lovely
