Mid-Mod Dot Rug
With the fall weather sneaking in on us and the over abundance of spider webs springing up over night in the the yard, I’ve turned my attention back inside. The family room has patiently been waiting for us to complete the projects we started back during the...
It’s time to install an exhaust fan!
I can’t remember what I was cooking (burning), but we unhooked the smoke alarm and hid it under some pillows in the living room… and it still went off! I have the faint memory that the house smelled like bacon for several days. That’s right, bacon!...

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!
