For those who spend their time creating Pinterest boards chalked full of dreamy canopy beds, panoramic forest views, billowing floor-to-ceiling curtains, sleek marble countertops and more, it’s time to see those dreams in real time at this year’s NW Natural Street of Dreams.

Two grand homes will be featured at a site in Lake Oswego, Oswego Reserve, with more than a dozen in the surrounding area, including four Portland homes.

Bonus features this year include two middle housing locations in the Alberta Arts District and Multnomah Village.

Since 1975, the Home Building Association of Greater Portland has produced this summer event in the Pacific Northwest, dubbed the NW Natural Street of Dreams, featuring the latest in residential construction. Each show home reflects the unique and professional talents of builders, interior designers, craftspeople and landscape architects. This year’s event is from Thursday, July 31, through Sunday, Aug. 24.
