 MANY UNSYMPATHETIC RENOVATIONS December 7, 2005
16 out of 18 found this review helpful
I appreciated the photos of the exteriors but was disappointed to see how many of the interiors were gutted to beyond recognition of the bungalow style. I bought the book to see bungalow style, not poorly interpreted modern cutups.
New ideas in modern bungalow design... January 13, 2005
13 out of 13 found this review helpful
This book focuses largely on the updating of bungalows through renovation (and even new construction), rather than restoration. While it's not as true to the period as books like Bungalow Bathrooms or Bungalow Kitchens, it is a useful reference to readers like us who are looking to balance a respect for vintage architecture with modern conveniences.
The most interesting things we found in this book were definitions of the different kinds of bungalows. While the Chicago-Style Bungalow Initiative restricts their bungalow program to a fairly specific architectural style (the "Chicago-style"), this book points out the definition of a bungalow and reviews the different variations of bungalows that exist in many places.
 excellent guide for bungalow renovation September 7, 2004

restoration versus modernizing July 18, 2004

The book did not meet my expectations. Photos are great but I was looking for restoration of 1920 house with authentic appliances and details. This book is focused on modernizing bugalow style home.
Great design ideas November 11, 2003

I've always been in love with bungalows, the images they invoke are warm and inviting, and since I'm in the process of designing my own home, I'm also on the look-out for innovative ideas. This book didn't dissapoint. So many different styles lend each of the homes featured between the covers of this publication an air of individuality and it gives us a glimpse into the personalities behind their creation. I'm finding this particular book to be a great learning tool as I try putting my own personality into my own home design.
