If you love old houses, you'll love this

I’m such a sucker for a gorgeous historic home. I troll the Cheap Old Houses Instagram account daydreaming about moving to a small town in the middle of nowhere to be able to afford a massive Victorian house that I restore and turn into my perfect dwelling—complete with a massive library, basement skatepark, home gym, craft room, and epic writing office. And of course, I’d fill it with cute vintage finds, stunning antiques, and whatever thrifted doodads I fell for.

That’s more or less what a couple in Columbus did with the historic Lazarus House. Far from the middle of nowhere, one of the city’s stateliest homes just got a major renovation—and all the glorious historic details were rehabbed so they might live on for another couple of lifetimes.

Check out the article and the beautiful photos to accompany it (which I didn’t take) in my latest for Columbus Monthly.
