Woodsman Tavern Decor

This last weekend we stopped in NE Portland to pick up a desk that we spotted on Craig's List (project time!), and we stopped by the coolest little restaurant called The Woodsman Tavern.  I loved the inside of the place so much that I started snapping photos with my phone the instant we stepped in the door...much to management's chagrin, I'm sure.  The decor was this smorgasbord of vintage farmhouse and industrial chic all combined into an updated and purely Portland tavern.  Love it!  (Don't forget to click on the pictures for larger views...)

Walk with me, if you will, past the large-paned windows...

Over the threshold with small white marble hex tiles and through the black lacquer doors...

Step inside and "bam!" you see the most beautiful yet haphazard fresh flower arrangement with a hip vintage pendant hovering above...

As we sit at our table, my eyes run along the refinished but perfectly imperfect wooden floors toward the other side of the restaurant and I get a peak at the gorgeous olive-colored gallery wall filled with nothing but local oil paintings of Oregon landscapes...

Next, I glance up and see shiny white board and batten ceilings and industrial light fixtures with old-timey Edison bulbs radiating, and then over to the bar and bar-height table with custom metal and wood stools...

I wish I had taken a closer picture of the old yellow schoolhouse clock hanging over the kitchen in the back, so I could share it with you...loved it!

After my delicious meal of homemade buttered biscuit with poached eggs, kale, and country ham sliced as thin as prosciutto (no picture, sorry...), we turned to head out and I snapped one last pic of the entryway.

Ok, now I'm ready to go design a house around this place!  High praises for both gorgeous decor and home-style fare at The Woodsman Tavern in Portland OR.  -Kristen
