In hundreds of replies to the Petersiks’ query, these and other concerns were raised, sometimes bluntly. And since the birth of their second child, Teddy, in April, they were increasingly voicing their difficulty in balancing work and family. The Petersiks’ trademark gung-ho enthusiasm seemed forced. There were more product giveaways, fewer in-depth tutorials. content, like instructions on how to install laundry-room cabinets and how to stain concrete floors, all of it delivered step-by-step in the cheerful, self-deprecating, broadly comic tone that has made the Petersiks Internet stars.īut some loyal readers had lately noticed a decrease in quantity and quality. Young House Love has an almost mind-numbing amount of D.I.Y.
The Petersiks, who are in their early 30s and live in Richmond, Va., have bought and renovated three homes in the last eight years, each project bigger than the last, while also publishing a best-selling how-to book, designing a line of wall hooks sold by Target, decorating an entire show house, having two children and blogging, tweeting and Instagramming every last detail of it. The casual visitor to Young House Love would hardly have noticed a lack of industriousness. Earlier this month, John and Sherry Petersik, the husband-and-wife duo behind the hugely popular home-renovation blog Young House Love, apologized to their readers for not writing their regular Thursday post, and asked how they felt about shorter posts when “we can’t write something juicy.”
