In the kitchen of a Portland house renovated by Beebe Skidmore Architects, cork flooring and brass cabinet pulls honor the home’s midcentury roots. As architect Heidi Beebe puts it, “The pulls were on closeout at the hardware store—and totally out of style—but they trick out the Ikea cabinets and make them look vintage.” OPPOSITE: The green paint used on the exterior is a custom hue created by adding black to dark-green paint. According to Beebe, the dark areas represent the additions, while the white sections indicate parts of the original house.
