The shed and pool house:
We invited our friends, Marci and Austin, over to swim and they showed up with paint clothes, brushes, rollers and a “git’r done” attitude. Austin fired up the kids to get the painting done so we could swim. It was HOT and we had to work fast to get the paint laid down before the sun dried it. We finished in about 90 minutes… WOW!
Then everyone jumped in the pool.

(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. 🙂

I'm having fun going back through your blog. Your house must be the center of fun for all the neighborhood…what a great slide! I would have killed for that as a kid (and now adult). :>
