About Heirlooms at Home
An online publication that covers antiques and old houses
Meet the Founder
Lauren has two decades of hands-on experience in the antiques industry, with extensive knowledge gained from years of working in an antique store and engaging with industry professionals.
With her insider experience, she understands that antiques can sometimes feel intimidating and exclusive. Her goal is to break down these barriers, offering readers expert advice and actionable tips on understanding, evaluating, and preserving heirlooms and historic pieces.
"When we preserve an antique or an old house, we protect more than its materials. We preserve the craftsmanship, context, and human history that give it meaning."
