Home Diary

Going along with my previous post about remodeling historic houses, I came across a blog which details the steps that one couple is taking to remodel their 1916 Craftsman Bungalow. This blog is very interesting to me since we are planning to do some work to our house as well. While our house is not old, we have some big plans for making it more interesting by adding architectural details.

His blog also has bar graphs along the left side tracking their progress with the house on a "per room" basis. This is a really neat way to see the work you've done. In a show of dedication to the Craftsman style, the blogger actually developed a Craftsman Font based on the lettering used by the early 20th century Craftsman furniture designer Gustav Stickley. He has a link from the blog where you can purchase the font set for your own use.

Here are a couple of photos showing the front of his house:
