New ideas, materials and techniques for rehabilitating, furnishing and maintaining your older home. Get the details in the 2012 Decatur Old House Program.
Jodi Marks, HGTV personality and co-host of Today’s Homeowner on 11Alive, will be a guest speaker. She’ll present “Fun Projects to Enhance Your Home”, with plenty of great advice and giveaways.
Just in time for spring, Roger Moss, exterior paint color specialist and author of 1820-1920, Century of Color, and Victorian Exterior Decoration, will be a guest speaker. Attendees can schedule a 20 minute exterior color consultation with Roger Moss for $25 (2 back to back sessions can be requested). Homeowners should bring printed photographs of all facades (images on phones will not work), or drawings of the house. Contact Regina Brewer at regina.brewer@decaturga.com or call 404-371-8383. Don’t buy paint for your house until you’ve attended this seminar.
A large exhibit area of retailers, suppliers and other professionals in home improvement, historic preservation, renovation, interior furnishings and construction.
How to restore original windows, improve your older home’s energy efficiency, develop a maintenance plan, research old-house history, earn tax incentives for certified rehabilitation – and more – through seminars and hands-on demonstrations.
