You’ve got your dream home, but it needs a little work—what’s next? We’ve got the answers as we discuss when to renovate and when to restore, how to bring a period home into the modern age and what kind of hurdles you might encounter in every space from the kitchen to the bathroom.

On stage, we are excited to have local contractor Steven Shields, who will tackle the difficult questions about when to preserve, restore or renovate, sharing some creative resources for new products that give a nod to the era, as well as George Smart, a member of one of the country’s preeminent MCM preservation organizations U.S. Modernist. Stay for the conversation, then join us on a tour of a local home that has gone through a successful renovation.
