We’re the Brooks. Lex & Stu. Stu & Lex. Lu? Stex?!
A dynamic and symbiotic duo who love to get our hands (and minds) dirty with renovation, continually challenge ourselves with new projects, eat & cook and eat some more, and generally spend way too much time together. We have two little children, a (rescue) dog, Edie, and cat, Maggie, and only ever serve up the highest form of wit: sarcasm.
Welcome!
About Us
We’re just a boy and a girl… standing in front of a house... Okay okay you’ve heard our Notting Hill quote enough. Tap da button for 5 fun facts about us as a couple, a few FAQ about each of us, and absolutely nothing useful whatsoever.
About The Tudor 29
We house hunted for about 4 months around all of Greater Philadelphia before serendipity landed us on the stepping stones of this fairy-tale beauty. This little section will take you through the history of our 1929 Tudor Revival, the emotional buying experience (in a good way), and a tour inside the home when we bought it.
Our Prior Renovation
The “Urban Farmhouse” was our first major renovation back in 2015. An unassuming 110 year old farmhouse in midtown Atlanta, Georgia that was exactly what we weren’t looking for. We stripped it back and gave it a whole new life from top to bottom all while unexpectedly starting a family. Check out the full renovation with before & afters here.
