Neocan't: See and Be Seen

We had the privilege of attending the 3rd annual Neocan’t this past August. Neocan’t is an opportunity for local vendors, designers and architects to come together. At the event we were able to see our favorite vendors and view their newest products and designs. We are already looking forward to next year!

The Butterfly Project

We showed you the butterflies in progress, and here they are as completed pieces! We were so happy to sponsor Serving Up Style at the Home and Garden Show. The event was a benefit for Molly's Fund Fighting Lupus, an organization very close to our hearts. In the hands of local artists, the butterflies were turned into incredible works of art, and helped to make the event a smashing success.

SRM Wins Designer's Choice Award
As we mentioned in our last Details, SRM had the privilege to participate on one of six interior design teams competing at the first-ever Serving Up Style design showcase. The fantasy dining room design event benefited Molly's Fund Fighting Lupus, attracted 5,000 visitors, and brought our team the event's top prize - the Designer's Choice Award!

The Designer's Choice award was the only juried prize at the show chosen by members of Portland's design community, including Randy Gragg, editor of Portland Spaces and Portland Monthly, Bridget Otto of the Oregonian, and Katie McNelis, General Manager of Portland's Crate and Barrel store. Along with our partners from Maison Inc., we caught the judges' eye with our theme "Moor, Please..." a fantasy dining room steeped in the aesthetics of the spice trading routes of the Near East and southern Mediterranean.

If you missed the show, you can still see highlights on Flickr!
