Vintage Life: Uh-oh, Termites!
Although we thought we were finished with the demolition phase of our 1920s bungalow renovation, we realized we weren't quite done. The original wood lap siding was in terrible condition, so we decided that had to go too. We had quite a few people slamming on their brakes while driving past our little bungalow. It's not often you can see...

Vintage Life: To Side or Not to Side
When we purchased our 1920s bungalow, we knew we had a ton of work to do: demolition, moving walls, rewiring, replumbing, et cetera. However, the original wood lap siding looked like it was in pretty good shape. We knew we had areas that would need some repair and patching. And of course the whole house would have to be scraped...

Vintage Life: We're Plumb Crazy!
I've let too much time pass since my last post and in the meantime we've just celebrated our one year anniversary of buying our little disaster/bungalow. However, you still aren't caught up on all of our hard work! After we finished re-wiring the house, the next major project was to re-plumb the whole house. The original cast iron and copper...

Vintage Life: Let there be Light!
Now that we've redesigned our 1920s bungalow, replaced all the subfloors, built new walls and closets, and added pocket doors and new windows, we're ready to re-wire the house. Remember the exposed wiring? Inside the walls were the fabric-covered wires originally installed when the house was built. Obviously we needed to re-wire the entire house for safety. We now have...

Vintage Life: Windows & Doors
We've changed the flow in our 1920s bungalow renovation, and now we're changing the doors and windows too. Greg and I love pocket doors, and even though they aren't original to the house, we've decided to add them everywhere. Below is the pocket door that will slide open and closed between the master bedroom and the master bathroom. We are...

Vintage Life: Mack-Daddy Man Loft
Greg is so excited about the upstairs in our 1920s bungalow, as this space will be his mack-daddy man loft where he will be able to play and record music to his heart's content. This space will also act as a guest bedroom when family or friends come to town. On the far side of that chimney column where you...

Vintage Life: Change the Flow
We're really enjoying figuring out how to best use the space in our 1920s bungalow. We're taking down walls, adding closets and bathrooms, and making the whole house flow better. Today we'll start in the former family room that had the beautiful yellow and green patterned linoleum at the back of the house. I'm planning to make this room a...

Vintage Life: Master Bedroom Suite
Next up on the bungalow renovation project schedule: change the flow throughout the house. Originally the front room did not have access to the front bedroom. The previous owner had added a door to the left of the fireplace, but we thought traffic would flow better with the door to the right of the fireplace. We plan to use the...

Vintage Life: To the Floor Joists
During the two month-long demolition phase of our 1920s bungalow renovation project, we discovered that the original pine floors, which we had planned to refinish, were actually completely dry-rotted due to a moisture problem under the house. So not only did we tear the house apart to the studs, we went all the way down to the joists. I don't...

Vintage Life: Bungalow Demolition!
Have you ever dreamed of working out your frustrations with a sledgehammer? Well my husband and our handyman, Frank, did just that in our 1920s bungalow renovation project. First to go was that startling yellow-gold front room - down to the studs. You can already see that the front bedroom in two shades of blue was next to go. Remember...
