Closing out our spring theme of seasonal home main

Closing out our spring theme of seasonal home maintenance, I offer some thoughts about storm and screen windows to protect your historic wood windows. If you have these kinds of storms, this is the time of year when you climb up your ladder, swap them out for screens, and store them in your basement/garage/barn until winter comes around again. I know, I know, it’s a bit of a pain. This summer, I’ll show you some alternatives I’ve tried that strike a decent balance between aesthetics, authenticity, ease and performance. Stay tuned.

Congratulations @brownstoneboys!!! And thank you for writing your book, “For the Love of Renovating”, to help demystify the process of bringing new life to old buildings. Your enthusiasm is contagious and inspires loving, thoughtful and beautiful home stewardship. Can’t wait to celebrate with you in person tomorrow with @cheapoldhouses and @rizzolibookstore!

Who’s afraid of an old abandoned church? Not @crisapena and @nsporter17! Or any of the rest of us who gathered to watch Episode 3 of this season’s #cheapoldhouses on @hgtv documenting (in classic “reality” TV style 😆) how they preserved this ravishing space, now their home, giving “sanctuary” a whole new definition. Congratulations all! Camera crews are gone, but the work continues..so excited for you on this journey ❤️

Fellow creative business owners! If you haven’t

Fellow creative business owners! If you haven’t listened to LuAnn Nigara’s “A Well-Designed Business” podcast, I can’t recommend it highly enough. And recently I WAS ON IT 😆talking about collaborations with interior designers, architects, contractors and other professionals to help clients preserve their historic homes. Follow @luannnigara (and look for my face in the grid!).

If your passion is also your livelihood, Michele Williams’s “Profit is a Choice” is another MUST-LISTEN business podcast. I’m so honored she asked me to be her guest this month. To learn a bit about my journey as an entrepreneur (and Michele’s incredible work as a financial coach!), find me on her grid @scarletthreadatl

The most fun you can have in a basement! Memories

The most fun you can have in a basement! Memories of this month’s Hudson Mohawk Vernacular Architecture study tour in Germantown, NY. We visited two mid-1700s houses to get insights from some of our area’s most seasoned old building experts. Debate over saw marks, hardware, recycled timbers and reconfigured fireplaces ran fierce but friendly. I’m always learning from these wonderful people.

Thanks so much to @whiteclaykillpreservation @fohgny and all who helped organize a great day!
