In this episode of True Tales From Old Houses, Stacy is wrapping things up at Silver Lake and getting ready for a new sleeping porch project. Meanwhile, Daniel is busy turning a dining room closet into a masterpiece—because even closets deserve a little love. Then, during listener Q&A, Stacy offers a happy follow-up from a previous question about exterior painting before weighing in on a kitchen remodel quandary—When it comes to cabinets and floors, is it better to level everything perfectly or embrace the tilt? Finally, history buff and DIY enthusiast Tux Loerzel stops by to chat about his big move from Brooklyn to Detroit and the ongoing adventure of restoring his historic duplex. From swoopy arches to textured yellow bricks, Tux’s home is full of surprises—some delightful, some less so. But with a willingness to tackle anything, Tux gives us a peek into the challenges (and joys) of breathing new life into an old home.
