Vintage Life: Bungalow Renovation HVAC, Insulation & Drywall
As we are about to move into our 1920s vintage bungalow, I've been updating blog readers about the renovations we've done since we first saw the house for sale in historic Newberry, SC, in 2011. It was in desperate need of love, as you can see from my two recent posts about the first stages of the vintage bungalow renovation...

Vintage Life: Our Renovation Continues Part 2
A few weeks ago I wrote a post to remind readers of our antiques and home decor blog about the story behind our own 1920s bungalow renovation. It's been such a LONG story since we first spotted the vintage bungalow for sale in historic Newberry, South Carolina back in 2011. The house was in awful condition… but we saw the...

Vintage Life: Our Renovation Continues Part 1
Many of you have asked whatever happened to the little 1920s bungalow we were restoring. Have we finished it? No, we haven't yet - although we are now very, very close! We will move in prior to Thanksgiving 2014, whether it is completely finished or not. As you can imagine, we are currently in a race against time to get...

Things We Love: Antiquing and Ziplining
Greg and I have just taken a five-day vacation in Asheville, NC, for Greg's birthday. We arrived in good time at Campfire Lodgings so we could get the tent up before sunset. We had found a very funky restaurant called the Stoney Knob Café in Weaverville on Trip Advisor, so we headed over there for dinner. The food was awesome...

Vintage Life: Hello Flowers!
Everything is coming up roses! As you've been following our progress on our 1920s bungalow renovation project, I thought you'd enjoy seeing the results of our landscaping efforts while everything was still in bloom at the end of the summer. The grass came in pretty well, even though we still have quite a few weeds. The baby grass was too...

Vintage Life: Goodbye Garage
We've been cleaning up the yard around our 1920s bungalow, and had always planned to tear down the ramshackle garage/workshop (and *literally* half a bath) built by the former owner. We knew it was full of mold, so it didn't surprise us when it turned out to be full of termites too. Below is a view of the side of...

Vintage Life: Good Grass!
While we waited for the grass to grow, we built a brick sidewalk from the porch out to where the new driveway will eventually be. First we put in the bed, put down landscape fabric, and then added a tamped-down layer of crush and run gravel. Next came a layer of sand and then we did a basket weave pattern...

Vintage Life: Mucho Mulch
Cleaning up the jungle that was the yard of our 1920s bungalow was a tremendous effort. However, the work didn't stop there. Greg and I plan to refinance (fingers crossed) next year, and wanted to make sure we worked on the curb appeal too. We started by painting the red bricks around the bottom of the house. Next we tilled...

Vintage Life: Good Fences...
We've knocked out quite a few big projects during our 1920s bungalow renovation. At the same time, we've also been trying to get the yard under control. I'll post a few photos to remind you how much the yard resembled a jungle. The next-door-neighbor swears absolutely no yard work was done for about 10 years. Although you might not notice...

Vintage Life: Up with New Siding!
After we pulled down all of the original, dilapidated lap siding and repaired the termite damage to the front sill, we put up OSB all around the house. The next step was to put up felt paper, which acts as a water barrier, and then hang the new primed HardiPlank lap siding. And at long last, we finished the exterior...
