House & Home

My father and I renovate houses northwest of Boston. The homes typically look pretty scary when we first walk through them, but that makes the renovations all the more glorious. Sometimes we have contractors work with us, sometimes a four-legged friend, but for the most part it's just my father and I. We both have strong opinions and design ideas, but together we create beautiful homes. I hope you enjoy following along.
