Whatever happened to Rummer Fun?!

by Steve | Apr 13, 2019 | Rummer

A fair question. We’re still here. Working on our other project, and working on the house as needed. That said, we do have a couple of fairly major house projects we’re working on new, so why not go crazy and update the blog?!

Kitchen Counters and Backsplash

We have lived with temporary countertops for way too long! White quartz was always our choice for the countertops, but we couldn’t decide on the backsplash tile. So… we waited… and waited!Originally we though we would want a 2×2 ceramic tile....

We’re still here!

I know it’s been quite a while… but we are still here and still love living in our Rummer. The major projects are mostly finished and we’re sort of just spending time enjoying living in a great house. I guess that’s not entirely...

Rummer Plaque

Spent a wonderful day out in Oak Hills at the Rummer Tour sponsored by the Historic Preservation League of Oregon. Walked through some amazing homes; attended a MCM architecture presentation and Q & A featuring Robert Rummer himself; popped over to the open house...

I know it’s been quite a while since we added anything here, but don’t be fooled… we have been busy. We’ve decided to tackle the back yard, and there’s a lot to do. We’ll post drawings and other info as we get it, but for right...

Closet Doors

THE FLOORPLAN

The Floorplan

(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. 🙂
