SecondShelters.com: Christy Rost Shows Off Impeccable Historic Remodel in Colorado

If you follow television and radio chefs and cooking teachers, you’re likely to be familiar with Christy Rost, who hosted the Texas-based television cooking and lifestyle show Just Like Home for 12 years, and a PBS special in 2009 that has become a Thanksgiving tradition, re-airing nationally every November since.

Rost and her husband, Randy, maintain a home in Dallas where they live for much of the year, but bought a second home in Colorado in 2006, which they have renovated to applause.

The Breckenridge Heritage Alliance recently honored the Rosts with the Theobald Award for historic preservation and advocacy for their outstanding remodel and preservation of Swan’s Nest, a house built in 1898 by Colorado gold baron Benjamin Stanley Revett for his bride.

It wasn’t an easy remodel, notes columnist Valerie Jarvie. Swan’s Nest was in a state of disrepair throughout, with sinking floors and faulty wiring. But the Rosts rose to the task, and the results are absolutely stunning.
