Name:Bradley & Jonya and 15-month-old Julian Grey
Location: Beaverton, Oregon
When Bradley and Jonya Streeper found a midcentury Rummer for sale just outside Portland, they left their loft in San Francisco and headed for the Pacific Northwest. Both have backgrounds in the arts—Bradley as a gilder and painter, Jonya in art history—and knew that the house, a developer’s knockoff of an iconic Eichler, would perfectly showcase their revolving collection of furniture and artwork.
Among their prized possessions: a Plateau Media Cabinet from Portland’s Made Studio, Forest Dickey’s salvaged-wood “Baldr Bench,” and several of Bradley’s paintings and gilded animal pieces, such as the ram above the white fireplace, from his taxidermy-based “Trophies” series. The ram’s skull is painted black, the horns burnished with water-gilt gold, and the teeth oil gilt in tarnished Japanese silver. Expect more of the stylish same from the couple’s soon-to-launch business, Gold & Bone.
The Streepers’ intentionally pared-down pad offers plenty of warmth, from gabled fir ceilings in the great room to mosaic tiles in a smattering of earthy hues in the kitchen. But for the parents of 15-month-old Julian Grey, the house’s clean lines also required some design creativity. “The biggest challenge with an adventurous toddler is all the concrete, glass and sharp corners,” says Jonya. “We create cozy niches within each room to soften the space.”

looks great !
Wow.
Just a suggestion? When you mention the house itself, please include a pic of the outside as well? Most times it doesn't matter, but if the house is special enough to be compared to classic, we'd like to see it! Thanks! =)
Gorgeous house! I especially love the cabinets in the kitchen. Great post!!!
I'm pretty sure this is the same house - I was eyeing it back when it was on the market. This link is from when it was for sale but you can see the architectural details.

Lots more interesting info on Rummers here:

I'm not usually that into modern furniture, but I have to say this decor goes nicely with the home.
I am, like, terminally jealous of that library/music room, but I cannot wait until the practice of arranging books by color goes away.
That is a really cool house, and a great art collection! Although I'm not a big fan of the gilded taxidermy. Agreed that it would be nice to see the exterior too.
a-frame delight. excellent post!
Way too spare for me, but it's beautiful nonetheless.
I'm interested in the source for the kitchen cabinetry.
Love the house, the artwork and the furnishings! I'm jealous!!
My only suggestion (not that anyone asked haha) would be to have some better landscaping outdoors, to show off the windows more. I understand it looks like winter out there, but it looks fairly standard from these photos.
Just saw the pictures posted by buddyrooster... I take back what I said about the yard. It's perfect.
NICE! I like the minimal.
I wish I could be this restrained in my home decoration. Each piece fits perfectly! Love the fireplace.
I love the high ceilings and I like how each room offer simple handcrafted wood pieces to look at in juxtaposition to the accent pieces (e.g. the gilded ram, artwork, and color coded books) Great library collection, too. I already see that Julian Schnabel book I want to borrow.
I love the library with the book organized by color!
Re the link posted by buddyrooster: I've recently got into gardening. Does anyone know the groundcover in photo no. 1 in the link below? Thanks.

Lovely!
David@justveggingout.co: It's hard to tell, but it could be hypericum (St. John's Wort).
Love the painting above the credenza.
Ooh! A neighbor!
Looks nice.
Beautiful home. I wonder what it looks like after the 15-month-old has had his way with it. ;)
i'm obsessed. someone please hurry up and tell me where those kitchen cabinets came from. kerf?
Wow! This place is pretty cool. I have a very close friend who is remodeling her new home and I think she would be inspired by some of these photos.
@doowopcore
I would have guessed kitchen by Kerf Design, since it's (sort of) local, but the cabinets don't have, well, kerfs. Apparently "kerf" refers to the little cut-out slots that their signature cabinets have for handles.
Thanks for all the kind words!
The kitchen cabinets were designed and built by the previous owners. They did an incredible job building all the cabinetry in the house.
*drool* but want to see more!
ahhh I see... thanks emmelemm and jonya! i guess i'll just have dream on. or learn to build cabinets.
Love the open space & minimal furniture, while still seeming to have warmth. Cool post & place!
i want more details on the kitchen too. really cool. on the ground cover, it is hard to tell, but i think it is sarcococca http://www.ces.ncsu.edu/depts/hort/consumer/factsheets/groundcover/sarcococca_hookeriana.html
Sigh...LOL! Ugh...I love your house! That painting to is to die for!
Striking.
Cool post!
The groundcover was already here when we moved in, but it looks like 'creeping myrtle' to me.
