Travel: Portland

Looking for a beautiful and inspiring city to visit? Portland, Oregon is one of our favorites. The city is known as the ”City of Roses,” and this year marks the 129^th annual Spring Rose Show. The show is being held June 8th and 9th at the Lloyd Center in Portland. Visiting the city’s International Rose Test Garden was a definite highlight, so we are sure the Spring Rose Show will be an attraction you won’t want to miss.

While in Portland, we always make sure to visit our friends at Ink and Peat. Another great spot to check out is the Pendleton Home Store on SW Broadway. Their shop is filled with beautiful blankets (which we love for their graphic qualities) and home accessories. The city is also home to quite a few vintage stores that are perfect for inspiration shopping. When you’re done shopping, the food scene never disappoints. If you are in the market for delicious treat, avoid the lines at Voodoo Doughnuts and visit the local favorite Blue Star Donuts. And when you are ready to rest your head, or get a great cocktail, the Ace Hotel is in a great location and offers plenty of interior design inspiration. Happy travels!
