Pool Tile Pics

This is going to look so good on our pool… even better than the pics with white grout between the tiles. Can’t wait to see a tropical blue pool in the backyard. What a switch from the “nuclear green” it is now! Looks like we will be draining...

Pool Paint

How can you not want to paint your pool with ad graphics like this?Initial research on pool resurfacing is distressing. Full resurfacing is very cost and time prohibitive. Maybe we could just paint it. Still need to research this more before making a decision, but...

Seems like I’ve been focusing on tile quite a bit, so sorry if this topic is getting a little boring.New Project: The PoolWe planned to have the pool ready by Mother’s Day, but our pool is a mess. Very, very green. And the weather has not been cooperating....

I’m still pining for summer and window shopping for the back patio. Steve found this darling set on Craigslist and I’m just obsessing over it. I NEED IT!!! I think I might have a sickness for patio and pool sets… but this one is really cute....

THE FLOORPLAN

The Floorplan

-before-

(the only thing we’ve changed is the basic layout of the kitchen)

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. 🙂
