“It’s been noted that home styles often follow fashion, and fashion designers often branch into the home. Portland has its own crossover artist. After 10 years of dressing men, Michael Allen is also now dressing the home.”

“His clothing store moved to 9th and Morrison and the old space is now filled with fine home decor.  Looking for the perfect crystal decanter?  Michael Allen's has at least 20, along with an array of complementary (but not matchy-matchy) barware.  Everything here makes a statement, from the stunning Murano glassware to the impressive selection of decorative spheres. Michael Allen's is the place to find a gift for someone who is blessed with everything, including impeccable taste.

“….it only made sense for Allen to add another color to his fashion palette and open a new home décor store in the clothier’s stead. Warm and inviting on the inside, the shop is laid out in handsome vignettes of small tables and chairs, artwork, candleholders, shelves, vases, bowls, statues, busts, and other accessories.”
