| Jessica and husband Yianni bought this fixer in Southeast Portland with the goal of restoring the house to its original charm, while creating a comfortable home for their growing family. Yianni and Jessica did much of the work themselves: performing major wall repair; setting tile; adding moldings - which should have been original; installing doors and windows; painting; and building an exterior retaining wall. |

 |
| Did we mention that Jessica was six months pregnant when they started this project? On their first night in the house, Jessica finally relaxed and promptly went into labor with their second child, Penelope. |

 |
| Green features in the house include: non-toxic paints and finishes; improved insulation; reclaimed doors and hardware; an antique range; salvaged tile, lighting, and plumbing fixtures; locally-sourced stone retaining wall; recycled glass tile floor in bathroom; and new Oregon native plantings. The furnishings are nearly all vintage or antique. |
