Hi. This is Michael. I am the editor/creator of Blog of the House. This is a website/blog that exists to help you and me elevate the place we live with the right things.
Things that work, look good and won’t kill your budget (most of the time). From a digital TV antenna to a Royal Doulton mug.
I have recently concluded that I still buy things like I was 19 and just moved out of the house. I am far from 19.
Truth, I have grown tired of being slightly embarrassed by the dishware I have, the pans, the chair, the sheets, the battered patio umbrella, the cheap coffee maker… well, you get what I am saying.
And, I am a long-time blogger, so it made sense to turn my transformation into a blog; a middle-aged child learns how to make a house look and feel good.
By the way, all of the posts on here are written by me and by hand. A mix of the best stuff I can find from my affiliates and non-affiliates too. I take the time to curate so you don’t have to.
So we are going to find things together. Figure out things together. Suggest things to each other. Share things we find. Become adults (no matter what age we are) together, by making the place we live in a little bit classier.
We want to be proud of things we have, not braggy, but proud. Less stressed. Give ourselves something to talk about with the family and guests that come over. Worry less about how our house or apartment looks and enjoy it more.
Hope you join me on the journey (oh geez, I hate using “journey”)… our leveling up of each other house game.
-Michael
