You seem to have had your fair share of what is available in real life housing. Little did you know then that all of that personal experience would come in handy later on in life! hah I live on the west coast of Canada where much of what you have described in housing, is relevant here, too, only the weather is colder and wetter more often than not. I currently live in a post war bungalow , but minus the breezy front porch. I deliberately looked for a bungalow after selling a home with 4 sets of stairs! I now enjoy having everything I need on one level; believe me, the older you get the more your body appreciates these kinds of considerations!<br /><br />elizabethelizabeth shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09042037455600427075noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-716665789125671424.post-17200401747727001372013-05-02T12:35:40.088-07:002013-05-02T12:35:40.088-07:00Small world indeed (pun intended)...one of the pla...Small world indeed (pun intended)...one of the places I lived was Santa Monica, also close to the beach, albeit in a postage-stamp-sized apartment. <br /><br />I have never lived in anything built before the war, which adds to the appeal of the Craftsman style - it's old by comparison! I will miss California terribly if I do have to move (sometimes I even miss it when I travel), but I can at least take this house with me.Annahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06141516882227013678noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-716665789125671424.post-22742301811396751952013-05-02T12:30:16.906-07:002013-05-02T12:30:16.906-07:00I'm excited to see your bungalow taking shape,...I'm excited to see your bungalow taking shape, too!

It won't be "pure" bungalow style like the Gamble House, but it will be based pretty heavily on real houses I've known well (and in some cases lived in).<br /><br />Cheers, sweetie!Annahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06141516882227013678noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-716665789125671424.post-46545396498033038302013-04-30T13:43:01.270-07:002013-04-30T13:43:01.270-07:00Hi Anna,

I have a 1908 bungalow and love the style so I will be especially interested in your new house.
