site we’re psyched about: young house love

While keeping up with the Joneses might be hard, and Keeping Up with the Kardashians just plain silly, keeping up with the Petersiks of Young House Love is a guilty pleasure for anyone with a love of DIY. John and Sherry Petersik met in Manhattan and bought their first house in Richmond, Virginia. The rest is history — their history, from their DIY backyard wedding (that they pulled off to the tune of $3,995) to their room-by-room home makeover on the cheap. Half the fun lies in watching them sharpen their DIY skills and grow their business. Since starting the blog, John & Sherry’s marriage-to-mortgage tale garnered such a following, both have made transforming the homes of others into their full-time gig. It’s like G-rated reality TV, just a click away! –Sarah C.




This is one of my favorite sites to peruse!
What a flattering write up, Sarah! Thanks so much for your vote of confidence – it means a lot to us. As two reality TV junkies, you know we’ve totally loving the analogy.
Thanks again!
-John (& Sherry)
I think these guys are so cute! Their style isn’t exactly like mine but I always think they have such great ideas!
I love their site! Cute! A great new-to-me blog time suck!
I am really jealous that people that much younger than me have a house that looks so pulled together. You guys can come redo my basement too if you like…
