Decorative Stair Ideas
We've been looking at decorative stair ideas that give you the chance to express your creativity in this most humble and functional area of the home. Although our 1920s bungalow renovation is still in progress, I'm getting a lot of inspiration for my own decorative stairs! One of them might work for our upstairs area dedicated to Greg's 'man loft...

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...

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...
