Advice for the Lovelorn

Down in the dumps? Do you come home alone, not wanting to show anyone inside? Do you stare at the walls a lot? Can’t sleep at night in your sad little room?

Forget romance. This is a case of unrequited house love. And Architect Bruce Wentworth wants to help. He’s got a new advice column called Ask the Architect, in which he describes the most popular architectural styles of homes in the DC region and answers your questions about the best way to remodel to suit a home’s basic style.

The homes he portrays in his textbook-worthy essays on architectural styles don’t look like they need any help. The implication here is that your house – the house NOT of your dreams – could look like these:

Under the site’s Q&A Section, Wentworth offers advice to people who send in their remodeling questions. You can submit your own question by clicking “Contact” on the site’s home page and watch for your answer to appear in the Q&A.

And as they say on TV, that’s not all! Starting next week, Wentworth will introduce a blog containing his architectural observations, such as a green kitchen remodel he recently completed or the New England architecture he’s witnessing this week during his vacation in Maine.

Don’t despair, homeowners. Unlike a bad boyfriend, whom you’ll never be able to change, a frustrating home is eminently changeable. Just ask the architect.
