About me

Location Ann Arbor, MI
Introduction I love remodeling and rejuvenating antique houses. Although it is a lot of work, and full of surprises (some good, some not so much!), it is always satisfying. I try to reinstate the original charm, respecting the home’s age and period, while modernizing what I can to achieve comfort and environmental responsibility. I drag my husband, father and friends into my projects; and love sharing ideas with others. I also love magazines, websites, books, even catalogs for ideas. After renovating four homes – a 1908 Victorian, a 1960s ski cottage, a 1949 mid-century modern and now a 1920 craftsman – I decided to record my trials and tribulations for myself and anyone else who is interested.
