In this episode of Built Classical, Amy and Konner ask the big question: What if your home doesn’t need to be made new—just remembered?

We’re cutting through the Instagram fluff and flipping the script on what "restoration" actually means. From window myths to lost trades, to what makes something worth preserving—you’ll hear practical tips, strong opinions (as usual), and a whole lot of love for wood windows, old growth pine, and materials with soul.

Whether you're team “tear it out” or team “bring it back,” this episode will give you a framework for knowing the difference—and making the right call for your home.

Includes:

• Definitions that matter (not marketing fluff)

• When restoration is worth it—and when it’s not

• Trades we’ve lost (and how we’re bringing them back)

• How to evaluate materials before you rip them out
