What We Build Defines Us

Are you looking to build a beautifully designed & well-crafted home? Then Building a Timeless House in an Instant Age, a new book by Brent Hull, is a must read.

What do our homes say about us? What stories are they telling? Are they declarations of integrity, beauty, and heritage? Or do they suggest we have lost our sense of value, craft, and harmony? In an age of “instant” homes, how do we build something timeless that weaves a tale of character, values, history, and heart? What are we communicating to our children with the homes we choose?

You can also read and discuss these topics with author and historic millwork expert Brent Hull on the blog.

featured review:
“Each of Brent Hull’s books has been a treat for me to read, and Building a Timeless House is no exception. A seasoned contractor, a master of moldings and architectural styles, and passionate about craftsmanship, Brent shares his own personal job-site stories and, along the way, teaches us lessons that might otherwise be lost. We need voices like Brent Hull’s to remind us who we are, where we came from, and how to get to where we need to go.”
