Welcome!

I speak vintage!

Glad you found me. Vintage, historic, old;  so many descriptors that qualify the buildings and homes that fascinate us and flame our passions for…well, things that aren’t new.  As an active member of the National Trust for Historic Preservation, The Frank Lloyd Wright Preservation Trust and Preservation Chicago, I maintain a high level of knowledge and continued education as it relates to historic properties, architectural preservation and neighborhood re-development.

Vintage homes, their design, restoration and care require a specific language, knowledge and understanding. Vintage homes are perfect in their imperfection. They’ve been lived in, loved and endured through good and bad renovations. They bear an imprint; the wisdom of their long years. They remind us that troubles come and go, but life goes on.

Follow along with me as I explore the vintage passions that will keep you coming back!
