We went for a walk last Sunday in our new neighborhood. The sun was out, and people were working in their yards. Perfect day to get out and check out the neighborhood. It’s a fantastic collection of modern homes nestled on the side of a hill in suburbia… interesting roof lines, post and beam construction, manicured landscapes… and smack dap in the middle of it is…
The McMansion… What?
Still for sale… and price reduced!

(the only thing we’ve changed is the basic layout of the kitchen)
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!
Just in case the whole home restoration thing doesn’t work out! We have a ’56 Airstream Safari that we’re restoring in our spare time. 🙂

Notice that to the right of this Big-Box “Character” McMansion is another Rummer. There goes the neighborhood….
