UPDATE: Kids Bathroom & Laundry Room

Here’s a quick executive summary on the projects we tackled this past year. It’s exciting to see all the progress we’ve made, yet a teeny bit overwhelming with what’s still to be done.Spruced up the atrium.Gutted the kids’ bathroomCleared...Therm-o-riffic!
OK… I can’t help myself. Steve found a Thermador cooktop and double ovens with an extra cooktop (still in the box). Also, comes with the original book from Thermador.

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!
PLAN B… THE TRAILER
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. 🙂
