Every couple of weeks, I invite you into the unfiltered world of heritage renovations in rural Quebec - from uncovering original floors beneath layers of linoleum to navigating the delicate balance of modern living in spaces built two centuries ago.

 What's Inside The Newsletter:  

✧ The actual story behind our projects - not just the pretty after photos 

✧ Fun vintage finds from places like Honey Hole in Howick that you might want to check out

✧ Before & afters that show how we keep the original character while making spaces work 

✧ A look at how we save original features and work with local craftspeople 

✧ Real solutions for old house problems like minimal storage and awkward layouts 

✧ How we decide what to keep versus what to update 

✧ Early news about our in-person design events 

✧ Seasonal ideas like how to prep your century home for winter  

This newsletter is where I can talk about century homes without the noise of social media. It's a more direct connection, just us talking about old houses without the pressure to make everything look perfect. 

I write this myself from our 1830s farmhouse. It's honest, sometimes messy, but always real. Our newsletter community gets first access to limited spots at our in-person design events and workshops. Come join over 400 heritage home enthusiasts who get monthly inspiration in their inbox!
