Like all houseblogs, the two new members each focus on the homes of their authors:

• Renovator's Diary - Thaddeus Kromelis on surviving a kitchen overhaul
• Scrappy-Girl Decorates - Catherine Halley furnishes her apartment from scratch

Both blogs are now listed in the houseblogs directory and excerpts from their writing will begin showing up in the recent entries list.

As we've said before, we're excited to see professional journalists blogging about their homes. We look forward to their contributions to this site.

Catherine and Thaddeus - welcome! :-)
