It's time for another episode of the Adventures in Arting Podcast! This week the topic is home renovation and our guest is Bethany Larsen!
Bethany Larsen works by day as the Business Manager for a Broadway press office in NYC, and by night works on fixing up the 1887 Victorian home she and her husband bought and moved into in early 2012. She recently started blogging about her home improvement adventures at The Larsens Live Here. Bethany also proudly serves on the board of the Fordham Alumni Theatre Company and the junior board of Solving Kids' Cancer.
Here's a photo of what the house looked like when Bethany and her husband bought it:
Their new stairs (and super cool wooden shingles revealed):
You can see lots more before & after pics on Bethany's blog.
On the podcast we discuss home renovation, collaboration, creative mistakes, and Hugh Jackman! Bethany is super funny and so I definitely giggled my way through this episode. I hope you will too!
If you have comments or questions, I know that we'd love to hear them!
All podcasts are archived here. Find the show on iTunes here.

I’m looking forward to listening! I went over to Bethany’s blog and am still dabbing at the tears of laughter which started due to the earthquake she experienced last year and came full on during the bat incident! 🙂

Not being a DIY person, I wondered what this podcast had for me. Actual art ideas about color and design, that’s what. I almost had a panic when my computer wouldn’t start the podcast, but I made it. I have a mini craft set-up near my computer which is in my bedroom and am awaiting the next show. Thanks.

She is an amazing woman. She is able to manage her time for her family and WORKS. It is not easy to have other sidelines for the family’s living. I can feel her sacrifice and burdens.
