A few months back, we issued a call to find a reader (or maybe two, as you’ll soon find out) to assist with a remodeling project. The selection process was tough as there were so many deserving families/projects. Eventually, we chose Peter and Chrissy (+ their three young kids) as our first family to work with.
The application, submitted by Peter on behalf of Chrissy, was heartwarming. Here’s a snippet of his letter:
“Emily/Gretchen/team!
Peter Cambor here. So nice to e-meet you and really excited about this post you and the potential of you assisting in our remodel! First of all, I am an actor/writer/director/producer/bit-of-everything that moved up to the Portland area a few years ago with my wife and now 3 kids (was only one kid when we moved in 2021 – we now have 3 kids under 3.. Insanity! But the best kind!) So nice to e-meet you! “
…
With Gratitude,
Pete, Chrissy, Claire, Beau, and Birdie”

This family’s enthusiasm, dedication, and design skills were truly impressive. We had a Zoom call with them and instantly clicked. Peter, being in the entertainment industry, and Chrissy, a talented designer, have already accomplished some remarkable DIY projects. Stay tuned as we delve into their kitchen project in the coming days!
