Dormer on side of this bungalow?
Comments (17)"Airplane bungalow" Thank you Casey,I never knew the specific name for the style. I'll stop calling them "Arts and Crafts with a little hut looking thingy on top". I really like the look but I'd be nervious turning our current crop of home construction/remodeling contractors loose on one. Potential for leaks at missing/improperly install flashing in more places than I can count....See MoreCurb appeal makeover for craftsman bungalow
Comments (14)Denita, I was just coming back to link some window articles from that website. Really good resource. In addition to great articles on windows, he writes about oft-overlooked aspects of older houses like porch skirts (and now I can't unsee that my house is the only one on the block with its original porch skirt). I'm so glad I'm not the only one proselytizing the virtues of keeping the original windows - sometimes I feel like a crazy Luddite because seemingly everyone else has been caught up by the "energy efficiency" promise of modern windows. But if you think about it, what are you really accomplishing? The new windows typically cost more than what you'll save in energy spending over their limited lifetime, they're made out of petrochemcials and lots of energy is used to manufacture and transport them. I talked to my local wood window guy and asked about doing double panes for the new windows we need for our house (to replace the vinyl ones), and he actually recommended against it - the double pane seal has a shelf life and WILL fail after a couple decades and are way more expensive for them to build than the plain old fashioned single pane windows (which will last a century with regular maintenance), so they won't pay for themselves. Better to do storm panes....See MoreBrightening up a dark 1930s Craftsman Bungalow livingroom (w/photos!)
Comments (8)The covered front porch is robbing a lot of natural light. I do agree with Beverly that you can look at the outside trees. You would be amaze at how heightening the canopy on your trees will bring in so much more light. You have a good start.....just need some tweaking. Love the rug! For the furniture, I recommend the following: 1) Move the sofa to face the fireplace, creating a "hall" behind it. 2) Move the chairs to flank the fireplace. 3) Turn the rug the other direction, if it fits that way. 4) Add lamps on either side of the chairs. 5) Add 2 tall buffet lamps to the hall cabinet. 6) Add some lighter pillows to the sofa, along with some red. 7) The arrangement on the fireplace needs to be reworked. I'd put the red artwork up there sideways alone or with a couple of other pieces. Too much up there now. 8) Move the mirror to where the red art is now. 9) Remove the small pieces from the front hall table....See MoreWhere to find interior door hardware for Craftsman bungalow
