Starting at the bottom… sort of.
Well, we’ve been working on this place for just a little more than a week and here’s some of what we’ve discovered so far. (I will post pics when I download them off the camera)1- The floor in the living room does indeed slant toward the outside. At first I thought we...Phase I
I thought now might be a good time to tell you what our plans are for this cool house.1- New floors in every room except kitchen & family room (those will get re-done in phase II… or maybe III, or IV…)We’re putting cork in the master bedroom,...The real reason
Aside from all the work we are going to have to do to this place…it really is worth it.Snapped this last night after we ran outside to escape the mold spores!Yuck…

WHO ARE THESE PEOPLE?!
Steve – Writes commercials, plays drums and tennis (often with vintage rackets), and digs MCM style.
Haley – Is an amazing graphic designer and lady-boss, is developing an obsession with travel, puts up with noisy band practices, and also digs MCM style.
Steve was born in SoCal, raised in NorCal and has lived in the Great Pacific Northwest for many many years. Haley was born and raised nearby in NE Portland.
Together they’re attempting the seemingly impossible; to bring this great house back to its MCM Grandeur and raise two nutty kids (who are now adults!) …and not drive each other crazy in the process!
Life is kooky, but always a fun adventure!
