Green Tour: A Portland Rummer

Name: Jay and Brett
Location: Portland, Oregon
Years lived in: 4, owned

Jay and Brett painstakingly remodeled their Rummer home—a Portland developer's copycat version of the iconic Eichler—with the same care and green sensibility that went into the concrete and reclaimed redwood bench they crafted in their backyard. Life is moving on for Jay and Brett, and the house is up for sale. With results this gorgeous, we're looking forward to their next project already...

Beautiful home. Does anyone know where that pendant light in the living room is from?

I'm not sure what it is exactly. It's similar to the PH Louvre by Louis Poulson... anyone have an exact match?

wow. this is very well done... and this rummer is much, much larger than most eichler homes, so -- copy or not -- a good one. 4 bedrooms *and* a retreat... a 2 car garage *and* a carport? these are things that eichler owners have to choose between... and rummer owners get to relish in. again, well played.
