Pittock Mansion's just a little way outside Portland, a lovely old house surrounded by incredible views, and saved from demolition by incredible people. To celebrate Christmas, they've decorated it from top to bottom with memories of "the Night before Christmas..."

This place looks festive and also a beautiful snapshot of what elegance once looked like. I like the cardboard cutouts by the sofa in the first photograph.
