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...

3 Ways to Dress Your Decor for Thanksgiving
One of the things we love about living with antiques is their versatility within any decor. Take an antique dining table. You can dress it up with fancy linens for a classic look -- or leave the wood bare for a more modern look. You can create a shabby design scheme with your antiques, or you use them to go...

Things We Love Right Now - November 2012
As summer slinks out the backdoor, autumn enters boldly through the front and redecorates nature's home in hues of red and gold -- with a blanket of white in some places!

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...
