The 40th anniversary season of the acclaimed PBS home reno show, This Old House, zeroed in on a 1920’s cottage conversion. It is a great set of programs and I urge you to watch. The client of the Rhode Island retrofit is the self same architect who is designing our friend Matt Grocoff’s off the grid Ann Arbor community, Viridian. Our eagle-eyed daughter, Claire, spotted this profile on the window supplier’s site. Hat’s off to everyone involved in this sensitive renewal of a good, simple cottage.
If you want to scan the project houses that This Old House has taken on over the last 41 years - here is the roster. There are a slew of videos on their YouTube channel. I just bookmarked one on whitewashing brick, a current preoccupation of mine.
Another old house that has been lovingly and sensitively updated.
