These folks have done an absolutely amazing job, and are pretty courageous having gone through all that work & hassle. It's such a beautiful, timeless place.
What a nice surprise to see the Rummer house featured in the April 2009 issue. I live in a Eichler with the same floor plan in the San francisco Bay Area. If you didn't know any better you would think it was A.Quincy Jones design. Both have almost the same details. They did a great job renovating. I am inspired by the possibility of what my house can be!
I have only been underconstruction for a week, and the daunting task of drywalling and moving the floor plan to incorporate original house plans with everyday light is hard to grasp. So I think they did great with their plans and patience. Moving from Hawaii to Portland, the little sun we get here really makes a difference. Thanks for positive feedback. It gives me hope.
Great house, but enough already. Not one but two articles in the same issue, each referencing Portland's reputation for rain at length. In the last few weeks, those of us fortunate enough to reside in what seems to be endlessly described as the "it" place to be on every front, have also had to endure rampant labeling, such as being on some magazine's list of "saddest cities", "most bike friendly cities" or "least manly" places.........whatever that means. Yes, it rains in Portland. But we somehow also have more in-migration than most towns. Readers surely know it get's s windy in Chicago and cold in Fargo. They may well have seen fog in San Francisco and smog in LA. Should we care about weather related generalities littered within the otherwise great stories about very cool dwellings in your very fine magazine?
Hey....I saw in the article that their white sofa was a Florance Knoll.... Ive looked everywhere for it and cant find it....Not even on Knolls site. Does anyone have any info on it?
Great article and nice pictures. My wife and I live in the same neighborhood and watched all the goings on as this house was transformed. Really great job!
The article intrigued me mostly for the glass/acrylic (?) roofing shown in some of the photos - something I have considered for one of my rooms for a long time. Do you have more information on this or similar glass roof installations,e.g. viability, cost, providers?
I read this was just sold. Maybe they moved somewhere with less rain.
The house has not been sold. Curious where you read that?
I loved their wallpaper so much. I had to find it... Wasn't hard to find at all and super easy to order. 26 EU for shipping and 42EU for the roll 11m x .5m

Hello, It was a nice story to hear....I can relate.. Im an LA girl who lived in Portland for a couple years. Original Portlanders need to know that its okay to hear different sides to the story. Everyone is NOT the same nor lives in the same town all their lives. Lord knows, lots of people dont like the smog and congestion in LA, but I sure see a lot of cars with Oregon plates here. Go figure. I think they think its okay to live here but secretly hate us. Just kidding. I do wonder sometimes. Live and let live.
Yes Annie, we do hate you.
that looks almost exactly like the Eichler we used to own in Thousand Oaks, CA Are there Eichlers in Oregon????
is the white floor really poured white concrete or white epoxy resin coat? I really like it and I would like to do it for my house also.
What are the floors made of..?
