About the Author: Renee Rutledge

Renee Rutledge is the Creative Content Editor for CalFinder. She enjoys working with a talented group of writers to bring the blog, magazine, and library to you every day. When she's not combing the net for remodeling ideas and getting in touch with people who are passionate about their homes, Renee can be found on her back deck, watching migratory birds floating on the lagoon that weaves through her island city. Home is where Renee will be buried in a book, sharing tea and conversation with her friends, or acting silly with her husband and 7-year-old daughter.
