Many thanks to Mindy at the central New York-based houseblog Fixer-Upper for featuring and linking to us (and Troy) in her December 20th post "Go pro--get a degree." In addition to information about our program, she includes several beautiful historic postcards of Troy and links to a number of Troy resources; we hope you will check it out.
Mindy is an alum of RPI's fascinating and cutting edge Electronic Media, Arts, and Communication program and, as mentioned in our December 19th post, is rehabilitating an historic home in central New York with her husband, Teague. Not surprisingly, Mindy's web and blogging skills are far greater than mine, her posts are a pleasure to both ear and eye, and she is very much in tune with the social networking possibilities of blogging and similar technologies.
Some of her eclectic and amusing recent posts describe having a clawfoot tub refinished, selecting color schemes for a bathroom (complete with examples of colors, furniture, shower curtain, etc.), hilarious photos and comments regarding cute dogs in Christmas outfits, and the all-too-common frustrations of having time off and not making as much progress on a home improvement project as you thought you would or could! We've all been there and you will enjoy following Mindy's and Teague's progress. Fixer-Upper also has tons of great before and after photographs for "house voyeurs," descriptions of many completed projects, and links to other house blogs and resources. Thanks again, Mindy.
