Read Any Good House Blogs Lately?

What is a house blog?

I wanted to let you all know what some crazy people are doing. They're writing about their home renovations.

In other words: House Blogging.

House blogs are online journals the homeowners keep while they renovate or restore their houses (as if doing a lot of the work themselves weren't tiring enough.) They're taking pictures, telling war stories, and showing us their progress.

House in Progress is the popular online diary of a family renovating their 1900’s bungalow in Chicago.

At 1902 Victorian, they’re working to take their “old house out of the disco era and back into the Victorian.”

Domicile – this blog covers the “domestic musings” from homeowners in Canada which can cover anything from home renovation to gardening and even cooking and recipes.

House Made chronicles two Bay Area women's purchase and revitalization of what they describe as "a neglected 1922 Pueblo/Spanish bungalow in Oakland."

Finally, there is a central hub for some of the DIY house bloggers out there, called HouseBlogs.net, that is a directory for over 300 House Blogs.


My favorite house blog title? This Old Crack House about the adventures of turning a... well, a crack house into a home.
