I thought for today’s masterpiece I’d take a peek at Jessica Helgerson, a Portland-based interior designer with more than a few showstoppers dans le portfolio.
This first image caught my eye on Pinterest over the weekend as I’ve bought a veeery similar gorgeous Beni Ouarain rug and pair of Moroccan poufs for our place. Loving the monochrome look with dashes of dark wood and the omnipresent oversize leafy goodness – divine!
That looks suspiciously like an Ochre chandie if you ask me – totally enamoured with the subway tiles / exposed brick combo too:
And this suzani (?) headboard is the bee’s knees too!
Here are a few more of my faves from JHID’s portfolio – this ethnic rug is so fun, and am loving the matching multi-coloured dining chairs too:
I don’t know what these are but my jaw is on the floor… Do you SEE that exposed brick wall??!
And I remember gawping at this gorgeous pad on Design Sponge many moons ago – yep, still gawping:

Have a fab Monday loves!

















Such gorgeous interiors. I love the exposed brickwork too.
That is a seriously impressive pad! Love the dark woods, exposed brick and generally masculine feel to (most of) it.
The black and white in the first picture is gorgeous and those brown puffs, so lovely! And yes, the rug and the colored chairs, that’s a good idea, I have to think about it because my cats destroyed the fabric cover of my living room chairs, but hey, I am not mad
yet!!! And again the black and white with a splash of green leafs, gorgeous, I know how my next house will look like, Elly! I hope you had a great weekend :*
The bookshelf in the first picture; that kitchen in the third; and EVERYTHING in the last few pictures. Ohmigosh Elly this is the greatest Monday post EVER! Also pertinent…I’m a sucker for exposed brick walls, as well!!
Hi Elly,
I love the last one. Is that a photo of fire wood above the fireplace? I hope so. The city girl in me tried to decorate with wood too, until I found out is such a no no!! Maybe I’ll use this idea instead

I’ve always been a fan of cool shelving, so that caught my eye in the first photo. And I like all the white in the last few photos.
Everything looks so beautiful…. Have a great week!
You certainly cheered me up with that gorgeous bright ethnic rug! Yes please to the exposed brick wall too!
