Jane Powell is the proprietor of House Dressing, a business dedicated to renovating and preserving old homes, particularly bungalows. Her interest in bungalows and their kitchens began during her childhood when she lived in a Tudor-style house in Detroit and a Dutch Colonial in Indianapolis, both with intact 1920's kitchens. In 1987, after working as a clothing designer, she bought her first bungalow, a minor fixer upper with a mostly original kitchen. She renovated it in a way that preserved its original features and sold it at a profit, then bought another. Several bungalows later it had turned into a career. She lives with her three cats in whatever house she is currently renovating. She also has served as president of the historic preservation organization in her hometown of Oakland, California.
