"We've tried to mix things and be a little eclectic, but basically our style is very traditional with a French flair," says Jenine. The dining table has been in the family for years. The Asian screen is from Parker Furniture in Beaverton, and the chandelier came from Accent Lighting in Lake Oswego.
Craig and Jenine love sitting at their kitchen table during the summer and enjoy the stream of natural light through the window.

The spacious kitchen has plenty of counter space for even the most ambitious home chef. Jenine loves the amount of storage and the open layout as it allows for multiple people to mingle in the kitchen while she is preparing a meal. Jenine plans to paint the kitchen with a fresh coat of white.
Craig and Jenine look forward to making memories with their family in their new home. "We're still in pursuit of artwork, accessories and the right piece of furniture to fit here or there," says Jenine.

"I like neutrals, I like soft and I like silk," Jenine says. The guest bedroom welcomes visitors with a calming neutral color palette, sparkling chandelier and a Bombay chest from Bella Casa, one of Jenine's favorite stores to find unique furniture and accessories.
The couple has several pieces of furniture that have withstood their 13 moves. "When people start buying furniture, I would suggest they buy things piece by piece and buy the best quality that they can," says Jenine. She likes to buy staple items that have multiple uses.
