Unlock the potential of your home with this ultimate handbook for restoring historic houses. Whether you’re a new homeowner in search of D.I.Y. techniques, or are just looking to inspire your dream home, For the Love of Renovating provides the perfect combination of gorgeous visuals and practical, hands-on advice.

Jordan and Barry — a.k.a. the Brownstone Boys — are the enthusiastic go-to renovation team for historic Brooklyn brownstones and other older homes that need a little TLC. In their debut book, they walk readers through the entire house renovation process, starting with things to consider before you’ve made an offer, followed by guidance on developing a design, a schedule, and budgeting; they end by giving a room-by-room tour that includes tips and inspiration for a successful renovation. The book also features a chapter on preserving and refurbishing historic details like wooden archways and crown moldings. Throughout the book, beautiful photos and Renovation Recipes give the ingredients and step-by-step instructions for turning the house you have into the house you'll love.
