I'm Ann and as everyone who know me will tell you... I am obsessed by all things related to house plans, home design, and home building / remodeling. Having spent too many years writing, reviewing and editing on subjects related to the house and home for more "traditional" media, I decided to join the blogosphere with this site. Over my career, I have devoted countless hours on such subjects as residential architecture, house plans, home design, interior decorating, home construction and home remodeling. In my spare time, I enjoy gardening and genealogy-related research.
