Cheap Old Houses: The Book

We wrote a book for anyone who has ever dreamt of changing their life to rescue an old house. Within these pages, you’ll discover sprawling Victorian mansions, Italianate–style farmhouses, off–the–beaten–path cabins, and even old churches, schoolhouses and hydropower stations turned into residences. Cheap Old Houses features the stories of how these homes were acquired and lovingly restored. With hundreds of beautiful photographs capturing these incredibly affordable homes in all their glory, you’ll be inspired to find “the one”—a fixer upper to rescue that will rescue you right back.

Architecture 101 never looked more fun! We partnered with Julia Walther of Shiny Apple Studio in Washington, D.C. to offer this pack of tiny, shiny pins celebrating the three orders of Ancient Greek architecture: Doric, Ionic, and Corinthian.
