Renovating an older home isn’t like renovating a newer one. It’s more complicated, simply put. If you want to make thoughtful decisions that respect your home’s character, you’re in the right place.
You don’t need to know everything or manage it all yourself. You need clear guidance, realistic expectations, and a plan that respects both the house and your life. That’s where I come in.
Here you’ll find resources, guides, and professional services designed to help you prepare, plan, and manage your renovation with confidence.
Founder. Designer. Project Manager. And Old House Lover.
I’ve built my career around old houses—restoring them, managing their renovations, and helping homeowners navigate the process with confidence.
Now I share those lessons so you can feel more prepared, more informed, and more excited about what’s possible for your own home.
I believe that every historic home has a story to tell and is worth preserving.
Before you dive into guides, tools, and inspiration — grab the Contractor Vetting Checklist. This quick, interactive worksheet shows you exactly who to hire, what to ask, and how to confidently choose the right pro for your old or historic home.

“She has a fantastic eye for design and decor and is wonderful to work with."
Heather has done projects for us in the past and we have always been so happy with her work. When we decided to move ahead with another project we knew we wanted her to create our new spaces. She came up with a revision to our laundry room that we are thrilled about and a design for a new screened porch which we can't wait to see built!
All of our favorite shoppable links and sources in one place! We love to share our projects with you and hope these resources help you as you design your own home.
