Any Old House Owners Here?
 

I LOVE Craftsman bungalows. My favorite style of architecture.

I have owned an old Colonial style house and a Queen Ann Cape style house...both in New England. Maybe some day I will have a craftsman.

I love older houses. We now live in a 1952 ranch/hacienda style house...it fits the Southwestern setting. It has some lovely details.

Our is a 1929 Bungalow.

I LOVE old houses! Your's is beautiful. I'm jealous.

Love your house... I also like the yellow. I have a 1939 Cape Cod.

Well stand back ladies because I have an 1987 home previoulsy owned by an elderly bachelor! :p

I love old homes. :)Your house is beautiful. I am pleased to see that you are keeping all the original character. It makes me so sad to see these homes ripped of thier original original details.

I do! We live in a early 1900s (1904-1907) Sears and Roebuck Craftsman Bungalow - complete with pocket french doors and the original claw foot tub! It has a lot of really neat features in it. Certainly cannot find houses with this kind of character anymore. We have done a lot of work to it and are just in love with it!

I LOVE old homes & all the pics are beautiful!
Houses are just not made that way anymore! My dream has always been to have a vintage craftsman, victorian, anything with character & details!
Every time I go anywhere I always look to see if they have vintage home tours!
Sigh, maybe one day!

We also live in a bungalow build in 1929. :)

Beautiful houses! Great work.

I lived in a Chicago bungalow built in 1919 and owned by a friend. Took many years off of my life stripping paint off of woodwork and windows. :p Loved the leaded glass windows, plaster walls, and extensive woodwork and built-ins. Sadly, many of the bungalows in the Chicago suburbs have been torn down and replaced with "mcmansions" that are too big for the lots.

Awww... your home is gorgeous! I just love the color and the windows and the kitchen and all of it! You are sooooo lucky!

We have a 1920 farmhouse style home and we love it to pieces. It's a work in progress and my hobby. When I first saw it my initial reaction was OH NO!!! not with this kitchen and WHAT'S THAT SMELL?!? Well, that was 5 years ago and I wouldn't trade it in for a villa. Oh... and actually it's name is 'Villa Vanilla'. When we moved in I had a dream in the first night where the house talked to me, bid us a warm welcome and told me it's name is Villa Vanilla...LOL!
I renovated the whole house single handed (my dh is a scientist and if he would have helped we would have probably not yet finished the first room... ;)) but last year we had to go to ABQ and rented the house to a dear 'friend' of mine who paid a minimal rent and was supposed to take care of it while we were gone. To keep a long story short, I'm renovating the whole house again... which is kinda fun b/c I can change whatever I like. Since we are on a very tight budget I developed a talent that could be called "design on a nickel"...
So if you need some ideas how to do things really really cheap just ask!
I lately started to redo my kitchen which was a 1950s blah affair and now it looks like a Tuscan style one. I haven't taken pics yet but they will follow...

I love old houses too, but it feels quite creepy :(
