When the original plumbing fixtures didn’t arrive as expected, Chown stepped in to specify the perfect metallic faucets for Penny Black Interiors’ award-winning principal bathroom—and fast. 

Chown donated a suite of bathroom hardware and plumbing fixtures to Portland Homeless Family Solutions’ as part of Jessica Helgerson Interior Design’s thoughtful renovation of their Family Village Campus. 

While the world was in lockdown, we remotely collaborated with Portland interior designer Donna DuFresnse to remodel a stunning Garthwick home with Chown Hardware selections in every room. 

Located in downtown Portland, local design firm JHL Design Inc.’s Studio Penthouse is a historic loft-turned-tech office space, complete with natural wood interiors, exposed concrete walls, and no-frills hardware to match.

Completed in 2018, this home in Arch Cape, along the Oregon coast, is the ideal retreat for anyone with an affinity for ocean air and a sandy hideout. This project was a labor of love for owners Mark and Laurie Engberg, in particular. 

Chown Hardware's New Seattle Showroom is By Designers, For Designers. Imagined by Portland design firm and long-time Chown customers, Weedman Design Partners, the showroom is as detail-oriented as its clients. Launched in July 2020, the third showroom for the fifth-generation family business showcases Chown’s extensive product offerings through bright, minimalist interiors and a flexible layout.

Hidden in the urban and suburban North Tabor neighborhood of Portland, OR is a classic, 1921 Craftsman home recently renovated for form and function. Chown partnered with the home’s designer, Dyer Studio, to ensure all fixtures met the project’s historic aesthetic and homeowner’s unique color palate.  

A modern kitchen remodel located in Bend, Oregon, this design by Kirsti Wolfe and Karen Smuland Architects for Karen’s 1927 Tudor-style home was completed in the summer of 2019.

Working with clients like Greg Sprando Construction and Turtle Mountain is a blessing. Their eye for quality craftsmanship and keen execution of design forward construction take front stage in this small condo project, maximizing every fine detail.

Aptly christened the "water temple" by the owner, Kimberly DeMent. This fond reference speaks to the deliberate choice of its owner to be as close to the life of the river as possible.

The Houghton project, envisioned and built by Taylor Building & Design, is a timeless display of modern, contemporary design. It was a privilege working with Kolin Taylor while he and I coordinated the hardware and plumbing components for the home.
