You can never go wrong with investing in high quality upholstered pieces that grow with your family for years to come. Not only do they provide a big, comfy place to land in at the end of the day, but they set the tone for the rest of the room. 📸:

Minimal, clean and modern! When working within the confines of a small footprint, we’re very intentional and thoughtful about storage and the way our clients live and use their space. In this modern master bathroom remodel, we were able to provide ample storage, and even still squeeze in a makeup vanity area, something our client had on her wish list.

Ever wondered what it is about kitchens that set the tone for the entire house? They have the ability to not only provide a meal, but a complete experience, and act as the epicenter of our home. Our clients Hollywood glam inspired design has the prettiest combination of teal kitchen cabinets with kerfed satin brass detail. Contrasting materials provide depth and emphasize the character of the room, which is important when you have such a gorgeous view to compete with!

It’s official…the at-home speakeasy is trending! This week our clients got a look at our renderings for their new cocktail lounge, and they are over the moon! Renderings are such a fantastic way for clients to get excited envisioning their new spaces and what’s to come.They also allow us to fine tune the details in the design process.

Happy Birthday ! He’s our tall, dark and handsome leader. Never to be found without his twelve pound “boss dog” Charlie strolling around job sites keeping track of the big picture and the millions of details needed to make Vanillawood projects and our team run so smoothly. We love his daily skips into the office, his sarcastic sense of humour (especially when aimed at ), and of course..His FABIO-esque, luscious locks!

Lake house requires lake views. Previous layout was dark, cramped and dated. We went for an open, light and bright, casual California vibe. The timing of this project couldn’t have been better as we moved them back in just before the world turned upside down and our homes, our sanctuaries, took a whole new meaning.

Homeward bound feels oh so good. was very different in the year of covid. Filled with unexpected twists and turns - 2:30 am bedbugs 😳 memorable uber adventures, airline induced tears and a very humorous stop,drop, roll moment - crashing wall and TV involved😂. Feet hurt from the miles logged but found some incredible pieces that we can’t wait to share.

Our Story

We are husband and wife. We are parents to three spirited boys. We are passionate about what we do.

We started Vanillawood to pursue what we love doing - creating, designing, building and furnishing spaces that speak to you. Our aesthetic has been indelibly informed by our time living in Italy, New York, Los Angeles and now Portland.

In 2006 we opened our doors. Today we are a full-service design/build and interior design firm that houses a brick-and-mortar storefront and a team of designers working in a bustling design studio just outside of Portland. Who says you can't bring urban to the 'burbs?

Chown client Vanillawood transformed a dark, cramped mid-century kitchen into an airy, open space for cooking, dining, and entertaining. Designed with a waterfall island, open shelving, and an oversized The Galley sink with Franke plumbing, this space achieves both form and function.

This striking pattern is in the Lohko book from Scion Living. A handful of H’s stores have the book in their library. Call the store before you make a special trip.

Dynamic duo. With the origin of their love story in Florence, Italy, this husband and wife teamed up for the first time to design their forever home in Portland, OR and Fantini North America won their hearts. The Mint Collection Silvana Angeletti and Daniele Ruzza provided the perfect amount of elegance to balance the dramatic marble tile backdrop in the master bath.

A stunning shower.

When designing this bathroom for a client in Portland, Kricken Yacker of fell in love with the Mare collection in matte black. She said, “no one else was doing matte black like Fantini does.”

Vanillawood is a local design/build company who recently finished this stunning home in Lake Oswego. Their designs are truly jaw dropping and they are so deserving to be featured in Dwell Magazine.

Even on gray days, this principle bathroom in Lake Oswego enjoys lots of natural light and lake views, thanks to a gutsy remodel by Vanillawood. “We do have a pretty long winter here,” designer Kricken Yaker said. “So that’s often the main target of what we’re trying to do—create lightness and brightness.”
