If you’re the type of person whose heartbeat quickens at the mere
mention of “original details,” you’re not alone. The internet offers
countless windows in the lives of those who appreciate the design of
decades past – you just have to know where to find them. Here is a short
list of blogs featuring lucky homeowners who are in the midst of (or
have experienced) a remodel of a fabulous old home, or are just simply
dedicated to connecting others to the vintage or historic house of their
dreams.
If you’re passionate about mid-century design, Pam Kueber’s addictive blog is your paradise. She’s covered everything from her own vintage home remodel
to list after list of incredible retro design resources. Also worth
noting: The wealth of “time capsule homes” (which are homes untouched
after decades), which will inspire shameful amounts of real estate envy.
Okay, technically Circa is an online magazine. But it’s got a wealth of
content for those who appreciate old homes, including a constantly
updated list of old houses for sale by state. You will swoon.
This is another site that will launch a thousand real estate fever dreams. Here, you’ll find another constantly updated list of old houses for sale.
Those living on the coasts need a trigger warning: You will discover
just how much you’re getting ripped off in terms of real estate prices.
You will find a gem for under $100,000 and curse your geographic
location.
Speaking of real estate and location envy, here’s a blog that chronicles
the story of how one lucky couple scored the deal of a lifetime on an
unloved brownstone in Baltimore. (How unloved was it? The place was
previously occupied by a fraternity. Need we say more?) The couple also
fell in love during the process of renovation, a story that will warm your heart.
If you’re looking for a laugh, beeline it to the blog of Victoria
Elizabeth Barnes. Not that she should be laughed AT. You will instead
laugh WITH her as she experiences the trials and tribulations of, say,
overbidding (and still losing) on a pair of giant garden urns at an auction
and the other bizarre moments that come with the territory of
remodeling a grand Victorian from 1890. Her taste – and witty writing
voice – are so on-point.To know details visit our site http://allindiayellowpage.com.
