June 12th, 2009 1 Comment

In this series we’ve focused on individuals who are taking on a massive home renovation project themselves (link 1, link 2 and link 3).

If We Had a Million Dollars…

April 29th, 2009 No Comments

First things first:  we don’t (hence the Frugal Tuesdays, etc). And we think there’s a sort of dignity, a hard-working pride in not having oodles of money just lying around.

Own a Painted Lady — $250,000 and Up

April 6th, 2009 No Comments

A little while back we spoke with the kind folks over at ProjectRowhouse about their adventures in renovating. We learned so much from those guys that, well, we wanted to learn even more.

Renovating Rowhomes

February 17th, 2009 No Comments

We have bad news: your dream house doesn’t exist.  Sorry.
If, however, you’re one of those industrious, hardworking types who doesn’t mind getting dusty and smelly in pursuit of a goal, we have good news: your dream house almost exists.  And it’s out there for the taking.
Proof of this exists in ProjectRowhouse, a Baltimore blog documenting [...]
