My Home
Are you planning a big renovation project at home? Do you have some words of hard-earned wisdom that others might benefit from?
At the National Trust, we believe that older and historic homeowners are truly on the frontlines of preservation. Whether you’re knee deep in a full-blown restoration or contemplating ways to make your home more energy efficient, your story matters and your experiences will help inspire thousands who are interested in learning how they can balance their 21st century lifestyle with their 18th, 19th, or 20th-century property.
Take Edward Hobler and Dave Garrity, for example. After a lifetime in northeast, they fell in love with the “organic comfort” of sunny Santa Fe and rehabilitated a distressed, 1,300-square-foot adobe into an energy efficient home that their friends can’t get enough of. And they even survived to talk about the whole process with us!
So, tell us about those original wood windows you want to repair instead of replace, or that detailed moulding you want to restore, or those historic paint colors you want to match.
From the roof to the basement, windows to the walls, we're interested in hearing your big and small preservation plans and stories. And chances are, we aren't the only ones.
