Hello and Marimekko custom canvases!

Hi Everyone, Tyffany here, I work in web and graphics here at Relish and am excited to be blogging for such a great cause... good design! I wanted to take a minute to share with you one of my favorite products at Relish, Marimekko Fabric, and the beautiful, custom and affordable wall panels that I created from this fantastic product. These, easy to make, wall panels have added so much depth and sophistication to my apartment, I cannot even explain it, so let me just show you!

We like this idea so much that we are planning an entire evening around this affordable/d.i.y design opportunity!

Please Join us: Thursday, June 4th from 6-8pm Here at Relish, 1715 NW Lovejoy

We will be taking custom orders on canvases or getting you started with all you need to know on how to create your own. We are also offering 15% off custom orders on Thursday and Friday. Hope to see you there!! Cheers, Tyffany

New Fuse Four Rug Designs

Introduction to Relish

Dear friends,

It is with great pride that I can finally start the relish blog! I have been waxing poetic for years about the nature of design, use of the same old materials in furnishings these days when there are so many more interesting alternatives, going local and sponsoring local artist events and design lectures with emotive (my new word), abstract expressions.

Our complex history is a long one - started relish mid 2002 (after a little practice) in a little live/work space in Portland's new urban Pearl District (http://pearldistrict.com/), in a cramped 320 sq ft, moved a year later to the Gregory building 5 blocks away (http://www.thegregory.com/) where we lived for 5 years. And now, ahhhh, we recently moved to our renovated warehouse space to add our interior design and product sourcing services! One year of hell and lots of money, then no money, then some money and damn, a broken economy at the finish line. We still keep moving, hoping, learning and doing what we love best -- creating authenic, beautiful spaces for every day people.
