Piedmont – a great, close-in Portland neighborhood!

Dinner in the Piedmont garden of artists.

Doug and I just enjoyed a wonderful evening with friends at their classic Mid-Century home in Portland’s Piedmont neighborhood.  We had helped Troy and Briana buy their home 5 years ago, and it was amazing to see what they’ve done! The home had been a tired quasi-neglected rental with minor primping prior to the sale. What was all that about lipstick and pigs? Well there is nothing fatigued about this beauty now! The cool factor comes to the fore with art and collectables. The formerly desolate yard is now lush with organic beds – the Ranchy indoor/outdoor vibe is celebrated with an organic garden of ornamentals as well as fruits and veggies. As working artists, the double garage is a great studio.  BTW, Briana blogs about the good life . At make/believe she and her sister Phaedra occasionally post their photography. Very cool!

For you fans of parks and roses, Peninusula Park  is a must-see Piedmont amenity. This is Portland’s original Rose Garden, before it moved over the river and up the hill. The park is abuzz with activities – picnics, basketball, swimming, making it a wonderful spot to visit.
