For the Love of Renovating is the inspiring, game-changing book every fixer-upper needs, whether the project is budget remodelling or a full gut renovation. Jordan and Barry, aka 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 mouldings.

Throughout the book, beautiful photos and Renovation Recipes provide the ingredients and step-by-step instructions for turning the house you have into the house you'll love. Unlock the potential of your vintage home with this ultimate handbook for restoring historic houses.

Whether you're a new homeowner in search of DIY books to help plan home improvement projects, or are just looking for interior design books to inspire your dream home, For the Love of Renovating provides the perfect blend of gorgeous visuals and practical, hands-on advice.
