Painting the Bungalow

Tuesday, June 16th, 2009
After months of renovation fatigue and, um… well… slacking, we’ve made the somewhat sudden decision to paint the exterior of the house NEXT WEEK.  Period colors or not?  That is the question.  Well, maybe not THE question, but you know what I mean.

So, what do you think?  What’s more important: staying true to the period of the house or choosing colors that make us happy, regardless of accuracy?  I’d love to hear some feedback…

Attention: Portland Bungalow People

Sunday, February 1st, 2009

Do you live in the Portland area?  Curious about bungalow colors?  If so, and if you have nothing else going on this Saturday morning, please feel free to pop by the Architectural Heritage Center to say hello. I’ll be giving a presentation called “Painting Your Bungalow – Inside & Out” and would love to meet some of my fellow housebloggers!
