Old-House Journal is an authority on homes of every era, and has been called "the bible of old-house restoration" by the New York Times. Each issue explores hands-on restoration techniques, practical guidelines on architectural styles, historical overviews, and homeowner stories—all in a trusted, authoritative voice. OldHouseJournal.com offers readers a digital archive of the magazine’s best restoration advice and inspiration, as well as exclusive content that adds depth to the printed articles. A corresponding social-networking site, restoration photos, learn about upcoming events, and offer restoration tips and advice. Through its many platforms, Old-House Journal helps readers restore their homes effectively and authentically.

Old-House Journal is the original magazine devoted to restoring and preserving old houses. For more than 35 years, our mission has been to help old-house owners repair, restore, update, and decorate buildings of every age and architectural style—from the earliest Colonial-era homes to gingerbread Victorians to Arts & Crafts bungalows and mid-century modern ranch houses—in a fashion true to their home’s architectural heritage. The magazine also serves as a resource of ideas for consumers looking to build new homes with classic architectural style.

Through outstanding how-to articles, beautiful photography, and first-hand restorer accounts, Old-House Journal shows readers how to tackle a wealth of restoration projects, from kitchen and bath upgrades to sash window repair to choosing period-appropriate paint colors. We also provide information in each issue on historical precedents and modern-day replacements for a range of old-house parts, including doors, lighting, hardware, flooring, and tile. Plus, we’ll keep you up to date on all the tools you need to get the job done.
