A Welcome Sight

A Welcome Sight

Simplygrove had this gorgeous image on her blog yesterday. I adore the tufted bench...all the detailing, and the color is just so pretty. I wouldn't think to put it with an aqua color, but it looks so good. I don't know about that kitten print though....kinda freaks me out!…

The Nines' design themes came from <a href="http://www.serapdx.com/">SERA Architects of Portland</a> and interior designer <a href="http://www.forrestperkins.com/">ForrestPerkins</a>. The gorgeous rooms use a turquoise called Sonoma sky and an espresso brown. What's especially cool is that the hotel is as eco-friendly as they come. According to a press-release:<br /><blockquote style="font-style: italic;">Eco-consciousness has been a key element to the development of the Nines, which anticipates LEED Silver Certification from the U.S. Green Building Council. To achieve this prestigious designation, conservation-focused plumbing, including low-flow faucets, have been put in place in order to save 400,000 gallons of water each year. All products used in daily housekeeping are “Green Sealed,” and the hotel retains 50 percent of its energy from renewable sources including wind power and carbon offsets. Low-emitting adhesives, sealants, paints and carpets were used during the renovation to secure optimum air quality. Throughout the building process, 24 million pounds of material was removed and 90 percent of construction waste was diverted from landfills for reuse or recycling. <span style="font-size:85%;">-<a href="http://www.sagehospitality.com/news/sage_news_the_nines.htm">Source</a></span><br /></blockquote><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.starwoodhotels.com/luxury/property/overview/index.html?propertyID=1757"><img alt="" border="0" src="http://cptnrin.smugmug.com/photos/492887531_QyH7N-M.jpg" style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 204px; height: 203px;" /></a>

My heart went pitter-patter when I discovered the Nines, a new luxury hotel that opened in the fall above Macy's in the old Meier & Frank building in downtown Portland, Oregon. The Nines' design themes came from SERA Architects of Portland and interior designer ForrestPerkins. The gorgeous rooms use…
