152: Architectural Goofs and the Great Modillion Mix-Up

Stacy and Daniel kick off Season 12 with old house updates, product tips, and a lively conversation on preserving historical materials.  In this episode of True Tales from Old Houses, Stacy Grinsfelder and Daniel Kanter are back and ready to launch Season 12 with a bang! They dive into a fun-filled catch-up session, sharing what they've been up to during the break and correcting a few architectural blunders from past episodes (because who doesn't mix up a modillion and a corbel every now and then?). The duo swaps stories about their latest home restoration projects, from Stacy's intricate staircase restoration to Daniel's renovation predictions that may—or may not—have gone as planned. They don't shy away from the tough stuff, tackling the controversial topic of dipping and stripping wood and why it's a risky move for historical materials. Come for the product tips and old house inspiration. Stay for the laughs, lively conversation, and approachable deep dives into restoration!
