Rejuvenation started out as an architectural salvage shop back in 1977. When business was slow. the company's founder, Jim Kelly, would rebuild vintage light fixtures out of the materials. Soon these fixtures were more popular that the other salvage items and, before long, Rejuvenation made the transition to the company we know today.

Name: Ronan (2)
Location: Portland, OR

The theme for my son's second birthday was the farm. I know, I know... EVERYONE does a farm party. But Ronan and I visit a little farm by our house every week and it's our favorite activity. A farm party was only fitting. More

Whenever possible, I love shopping local, especially with classy, independent artisans. In the Pacific Northwest, we are lucky enough to have some of the most talented designers on the market. I rounded up some of my favorite modern homegoods from the good old P.N. for gift ideas this holiday season (plus, I have to admit I own some of these myself). We'd love to hear about some of your own local favorites! More

As the days get shorter and temperatures drop, I long to hunker down in a cozy cabin full of wood and wool and candlelight. But finding that impossible, the next best thing is to throw myself into a book that takes place in a cozy cabin on a river. David James Duncan's The River Why is a favorite autumn read, full of wood and candlelight, but also a fascinating character in search of meaning. More

A perfect time to ignore the world and concentrate on making our homes pretty. Check out all the sales and events in the Weekend Guide, pass it on and send us your own sale or event. More
