wood and faulk.

okay, so back to the matt. i mentioned earlier that matt, who’s a portland-based designer, had introduced me (via the www) to his girlfriend lisa’s photography. well i just discovered matt’s been holding out on me (or, at the very least, being quite shy) about his new blog, and shop of the same name wood & faulk.




i’ve followed matt’s crafts and creations for a long time on flickr, and now he’s sharing his diy tips on his blog, wood & faulk. matt builds bikes, he’s restoring and decorating his new home, he builds headboards, and refinishes furniture, all with sublime style. so i was pretty excited to see he’s made it all official, and is sharing his secrets with us on wood & faulk.


he even shares his pickling tips — as well as his great musical taste! like everything matt does wood & faulk is super swell, i think you’ll be impressed. and be sure and check out the handy diy tools and paumes books (below) he’s sharing in his shop, too.
*as you may have imagined, many of these photos were taken by lisa warninger.

























OMG. Thanks for posting this. That is my dream home. I swear I’m going to go home and fill a dumpster.
i’d love to know where i can find lights like the ones in the second pic. do tell!
gotta have that carpenter’s bag for my tools to take on my installs…my current one is a wannabe…thank you!!!
yay! love this post. i’m a huge fan of wood and faulk…and of matt, since he’s my big brother. :)
love, love my wood & faulk bag!
Super swell indeed!
So beautiful, especially that bag. I love the pickling tips…I’d actually like to make my own jam…which is similar I guess :)
love the bags!!!!! hope he will be able to deliver oversea!!!!
What a great blog Matt has!
I love Matt’s blog… and the bags are just as great as they look. I’m getting the small navy one!
Oh my, another amazingly talented Portlander! I had come across that blanket blind the other day and fell in love. Now, for that bag, amazing! Thanks for sharing!
What a beautiful home! And that bag, simply perfect! Thanks (from all white and snowy Paris today!)
AWESOME! It is so refreshing to see more guys blogging, don’t you think? – esp. ones with so keen an eye for style :) I am officially in love with Matt’s home now, as well as his utilitarian-chic tool bags. Thank you Victoria! What a find! xo Laura
Gorgeous! The aesthetic is perfect, and the bag is to die for!
Wow – is this guy “the perfect guy” or what – builds stuff, pickles stuff, makes stuff and blogs about it! Lisa’s a lucky girl.
