Welcome to my very first blog entry! On April 1, I moved into this 1920 bungalow located in a designated historical district on the edge of a major metropolitan downtown. This blog is about my new old house and all that comes with owning and remodeling a historic home.
An old house was written in the cards for me. I love finding the scars of time on old things and imagining the lives of the people who used them. In high school and college, I shopped at places like Flashback, where they sold platform shoes and bell-bottoms. Old things are rich with history! And, as a bonus, they are guilt-free. A distressed piece of furniture, vintage clothing--I can't mess them up; they're already worn! It's a free pass for the perfectionist in me. And, finally, much like a headstand, they are good for seeing life from another perspective---a reminder that things weren't always the way they are.
