Our Story

We are Mel & Steve.

We live in Happy Valley, OR in our lovely little house surrounded by an amazing garden designed by a talented friend of ours and we call our house - yes, you got it - Happy House. From the moment we met, we loved creating together! From engineering wacky kitchen gadgets to making off-the-wall Halloween costumes to producing short films to refurbishing old furniture, to creating our own functional art. 


We love learning new things like welding, plasma-cutting, tiling, and crafting of all kinds. When we found some leftover dining room table legs, we decided we wanted to create an outdoor table tiled with an image we enjoyed. We jumped right on in! We found a ton of tile scraps (including a beloved ceramic mug that didn’t make it out of the dishwasher in one piece one day), researched the materials we needed, learned how to use tile and epoxy, found an image online of a frog that we loved, and we got started! Six weeks later we had a beautiful, functional, unique outdoor table to enjoy in our garden. Friends and family loved it so much, we began creating for them too.


We'd love to create something unique just for you!
