Remember, imitation is the greatest form of flattery.
This house is a nice little bungalow over in Virginia Highland.
It has a nice porch, though it doesn't extend all the way across the front. The light fixtures are updated.
The fireplace is very craftsman with high windows and built-ins. On one side is a book case, on the other is a bench.
The window seems to be original--see the locking mechanism with the chain?
The dining room has this wonderful craftsman window placement. I think this arrangement with the high window flanked by two regular sized ones was to accommodate a buffet or china cabinet. Notice the French doors to the living room. Most of the time those are missing.
This Butler's Pantry is a gem! Someone painstakingly restored it. The drawers work, the doors open and close and the hardware has either been restored or is new. Wouldn't it be great with the bead board painted light blue?
Now for the new part: Isn't this kitchen wonderful!?
There's a breakfast room...
and a family room on the back with lots of windows and a door to the deck.
There's an addition with a master bath. The hall bath has been re-done and a small bath has been added to the front bedroom.
I think the sellers did a great renovation here. What do you think?

Hi! Thanks for linking over to my Open House Sunday. I love this little bungalow. I never get tired of this kind of house. Wow! I love that kitchen sooooo much. It is almost perfect. The only thing I would change is the faucet...I'm not crazy about it. I of course love the white subway tile. I would like to have it in my kitchen. I thought it wasn't appropriate though since all I ever see in the way of old tile around here is square. Then a couple of weeks ago I went in a house behind me that is for sale and it had the original subway tile in the kitchen and that house was built in 1932...so it would be appropriate for my house. I love how big the kitchen is in this home. Love the big open front porch. Fabulous house...
Where?
Just beautiful! Got to love those original details! They did a great job blending the new kitchen with the character of the rest of the house.
I love this bungalow! Since I'm taking a break from painting my dining room white right now, i loved seeing all of the white walls!

I think they did a great renovation. If you're going to spend money, spend it in the kitchen, and you'll get it back, right?
Why didn't they stage it a little more?
