Choosing five Old House Blogger Contest finalists from the many terrific entries we received was much tougher than we anticipated. We were impressed by the quality of the writing, the breadth and variety of the home renovation projects, and the determination, passion and (in some cases) chutzpah conveyed by the home bloggers who shared their stories. Moreover, it was great fun exploring dozens of home renovation blogs thanks to this little house blog contest. Lots of blood, sweat and tears (and dust!) went into these remodeling projects. To all of the contestants: thank you. Keep these old houses alive and beautiful, and keep blogging.
And the finalists are…
It was close! So close, in fact, that we were only able to narrow the pool of finalists down to six, (there was a tie). Here they are in no particular order:
