Guest Picks: Organic Elements With a Modern Twist

I recently visited the Pacific Northwest, specifically Seattle and Portland, with my husband. It was refreshing to see clean cities that embraced ecofriendly living. As we explored the area, we discovered modern structures mixed with mossy trees in design harmony. So this month, I've gathered items to decorate my Pacific Northwest dream home filled with organic elements with a modern twist. — Jillian from Cornflake Dreams
