House Proud – The Blog

Greetings and welcome to House Proud, a blog that I am launching in connection with the October 22, 2009 publication date of my book, Restoring a House in the City. The book features 21 houses in ten North American cities, from Montreal to San Francisco. While the focus is on renovating antique town houses, brownstones, and row houses, there is plenty of inspiration–along with hard information–relevant to anyone who is restoring and decorating an older home or pre-war apartment. In fact, several people who live in none of the above (from loft dwellers to suburbanites) have told me that they, too, have found lots of ideas to steal from the book. I’ll be using this blog to share behind-the-scenes information and stories about Restoring a House in the City, as well as to provide updates, articles (both my own–I write for several design magazines–as well as links to others that catch my eye), restoring and decorating sources, and observations that I hope will be of interest.
