Vintage Life: My Dream Vintage Kitchen
In my previous Kitchen Krazy blog post, I explained our design inspirations and some of our furniture ideas for the kitchen in our 1920s vintage bungalow. Let's see how it worked out! Greg sanded down the kitchen cabinet door frames that we had repurposed from the spare doors on an antique cabinet we bought to use as a bedroom bookcase...

Vintage Life: Kitchen Krazy!
Before we started the renovation of our 1920s vintage bungalow, Greg and I talked about which things were most important to each of us. Greg (the music lover) wanted the whole house to be wired for media so that he could listen to his favorite tunes in surround sound, no matter which room he was in. As for me, I...

Vintage Life: Roses in Bloom
If you've been following our 1920s vintage bungalow renovation, you'll know that transforming the yard from a jungle to a beautiful garden has been a major task! It's been worth every minute though so I thought I'd give an update on our 2016 garden so far. Last year a friend of ours let Greg and I come pick some of...

Vintage Life: We're Floored!
The renovation of our 1920s bungalow has truly been a labor of love. You’ve seen the tile floors go down and penny tiles in the bathroom. We replaced the roof too as well as building a cat porch. Now we’re excited to put down laminate flooring. We had originally thought that we’d refinish the original hardwood floors, but most of...

Vintage Life: Raise the Roof!
In the continuing story of As the Bungalow Renovation Turns – a.k.a. the renovation of our 1920s vintage bungalow – now that we had the walls up and painted and had laid most of the ceramic tile floors, unfortunately we found that the roof had started to leak in the sun room. When we purchased the house, we thought we...

Vintage Life: Building a Cat Porch
We didn't intend to have eight fuzzy babies, it just worked out that way. We know we have a cat overpopulation situation, so as we worked on the renovation of our 1920s vintage bungalow, we made sure we created a special space for the cats too. This is how we ended up building a "cat paradise" screened porch for everyone...

Vintage Life: April Showers bring May Flowers!
Greg and I love to putter in the garden - we find it so relaxing to be outside, digging in the dirt. I like to call it yard yoga. As soon as spring starts, we can't resist working on the landscaping for our vintage 1920s bungalow, even though we still have so much to do inside! When the weather turns...

Vintage Life: We Love Penny Tiles!
Greg and I knew from the start of our 1920s bungalow renovation that we wanted to place penny tiles in the bathrooms to keep the vintage look of our home. We started with the smallest room first: the half bath located off the living room/dining room. We chose all white tiles with a dark grey grout to emphasize the shape...

Vintage Life: Time to Tile!
In the continuing story of our 1920s vintage bungalow renovation project, now that the walls were up and painted, we needed floors! Greg and I have completed several tiling projects together so we knew we could tackle this project too. Besides, Greg really likes to use his fancy tile saw. We started with the largest area first – the kitchen...

Vintage Life: Paint the Walls!
It is amazing how a coat of paint can change a space. Or in our case, quite a few coats of paint can really start to make our three-year long 1920s vintage bungalow renovation project look like a home! But before you can appreciate the painted surfaces, I want to show you a creative touch Greg thought up. After the...
