I love old houses. I love them so much that I bought another and another and another. Then, to pay the bills, I rented out the houses and began writing articles and books about home improvements and interior design.
Some of the print articles are archived at The Literary Landlady, where I blog about home maintenance and repairs. Other articles and book excerpts appear on the architecture pages at About.com.
