Locally DIFFERENT:Goodnight Room’s Ann AdrianGOODNIGHT ROOM LOCATED NEXT TO DOSHA

At Bridgeport Village, the saying “it takes a village to raise a child” is true. You won’t find another place that inspires the creativity of young children like Goodnight Room. The store specializes in children’s furniture, toys, and accessories. Goodnight Room’s owner, Ann Adrian, knows exactly what Oregonians need to start a family. Ann believes in providing a fun and peaceful environment to grow up in, starting with the youngest members of our community.

WHAT IS LocallY DIFFERENT?

Each month, we highlight the unique and locally

owned stores that you can only find at Bridgeport Village.

When starting her own family 14 years ago with the birth of her son, Henry, Ann was enchanted by decorating her own baby’s room. She wanted to share her experience and started Goodnight Room, with the goal of making every child’s room a unique space that cultivates learning, creativity and sharing.

“We love getting to know your family” says Ann. The staff at Goodnight Room are experts at helping you find the perfect present, custom crib or special touch to bring the room together. Ann chose to grow her business at Bridgeport Village because of the unique shopping experience it provides. “We wanted a place where families could spend time together” Ann said “At Bridgeport Village you are encouraged to get out of your car, stroll, shop, touch and feel, get fresh air and feel alive.”
