Book Description

September 1, 2011

This Old House is America’s longest-running home improvement show, airing on PBS since 1979. In this book, host Kevin O’Connor will chronicle 10 of the finest transformations rendered by the craftsmen and artists from the past decade of filming the show. Never before have completed projects from This Old House been displayed in such detail. From interiors to exteriors, with insights from every step of the process, the works presented in this book will give devotees of This Old House something they’ve never had before—the rarely shown finished spaces. With more than 200 stunning photographs showing the before-and-after of the best houses on the show, and unique insights and stories from O’Connor and some of the well-known crew members, fans of This Old House will be clamoring for this volume.

Praise for Best Homes from THIS OLD HOUSE:

This book is just perfect for those TOH fans, it made my holiday shopping super easy for all the men in my family. It really is an elegant book, hard cover, stunning photos and facinating stories about the projects from TOH and the families involved. It is a must buy!
