About Housecraft

Housecraft was created to be an online resource for those who enjoy doing their own home renovations, gardening, and interior design.

It is also a chronicle of my journey into design theory and practice. There is some amazing professional work out there, and I want to learn as much as I can, and pass it on to you.

There are many excellent blogs out there, but many focus on design OR on construction. I want to bring all of the elements of home transformation together, and encourage people (especially women) to engage in all steps of the process, because that’s what provides the most fulfillment. I want to bridge art and craft so that the best of both shine through into the final result.

Study and practice both help us grow. Even our failures are learning experiences. If something doesn’t turn out as expected, it means lots of hard work to tear it apart and do it over again, but it also make the finished work mean more.

I hope you find Housecraft useful!

Sincerely,
Jennifer Priest
