We just moved! Not from our beloved house (which is almost 100% ship-shape after our earthquake), but to Readymade’s new Home and Garden Blog. We’ll still be keeping you posted about our new projects around the house, but we’ll also be joining fellow contributor Chris Gardner, in writing about some of our favorite house-related topics on the web.
Garth Johnson and Claire Joyce are a pair of artists who live in Eureka, California. They just bought a beautiful old Victorian house that was originally built in 1905. In Keeping Up With the Johnsons, they'll be sharing the whole process that took them from dreams of home ownership to the sobering reality of remodeling and renovating. They'll cover house hunting, loan options, bidding on "distressed properties" and the 1001 projects that will keep them busy for the foreseeable future.
Keeping Up With the Johnsons is an exercise in 21st-century home renovation. Claire and Garth would like to hear from you and learn from your triumphs and tragedies. They would also like to share their joys and frustrations in order to help you learn from their mistakes.
If you'd like to learn more about Garth and Claire's lives when they're not working on their house, you can see Claire's amazing glitter paintings here. Garth's musings about art and craft can be found on his website, Extreme Craft.
To answer your most burning question..... yes, they've seen that old Tom Hanks/Shelley Long movie "The Money Pit".
