Steve spent one whole day removing nails and hooks from the exterior siding, then filling all the holes with wood putty. Uhgggg! There were hundreds (possibly a thousand!) nails all over the siding, trim and beams. Can’t even imagine what was hanging from them…
We’re finally ready to paint!

(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. 🙂

Hi Again!
I had this very same problem! The lady that lived in my house LOVED grapevine wreathes, and I swear she had one hanging on each side of the house! I think I counted close to 25 rusty nails all together
