We’re of the belief that home is more about what you put inside of the space you’re given, and less about the space itself. The PDX Home Edit is an embodiment of that very ideology. It’s also a gentle reminder that you can source homemade, household staples right here in the local community. Peruse this carefully crafted— pun intended—resource featuring local goodies like: hand-thrown ceramics, custom textiles, naturally dyed linens, and small-batch homegoods.
