Newburgh (via Brooklyn, via Rhinebeck):

I’m a book cover designer living with my husband Evan and dogs, Bruno and Fritz, in an 1890’s Victorian rowhouse in the City of Newburgh, NY—about 60 miles north of New York City on the west bank of the Hudson River. Door Sixteen is the kinder, sweeter child of Absolutely Vile, a moderately popular blog I maintained for a number of years.

We wound up here in Newburgh after leaving Brooklyn a few years ago, and since buying our house in March 2006 have been swimming in repairs and renovations and dirt and plaster and paint and bricks. It never ends! I love it all (mostly). This is a place for me to share my adventures in homemaking of all kinds.

Door Sixteen is an ad-free blog.
