Old house new home

Brilliant book when renovating old houses Wednesday, February 21, 2007

Throughout my property renovations I have brought some great books but Old House New Home is one of my favorite books and has really inspired me throughout our property renovation.

"Most of us live in an old building. It may not be very old, but it is more than likely to be older than we are. Updating and inhabiting an old building brings both pleasures and challenges. In Old House New Home, they look at the many different ways we can furnish and arrange an old building to suit today's needs, whether it is a country cottage, a terraced townhouse or a converted factory."

I purchased Old House New Home book a year ago and often look to it for inspiration for ideas combining period style and a modern twist. It's a well written property renovation book; showcases beautiful period homes and has photos that will inspire time and time again. On the Amazon to see inside the Old House New Home book and check out some of the goodies that lie inside.
