Product Description
Bungalows of the early twentieth century were pleasantly small, well designed, and affordable. The same can be said of Pomegranate's Bungalow Basics books. Each book in the series spotlights a different aspect of bungalows, those charming and efficient homes that came to epitomize the Arts and Crafts style in American residences. Douglas Keister's photographs capture the results of meticulous restorations, while Paul Duchscherer's text provides concise information about bungalow design and history.
Titles in the series: Bathrooms, Bedrooms, Dining Rooms, Doors, Fireplaces, Kitchens, Living Rooms, and Porches.

Customer Reviews
tiny format does the author great injustice
The tiny size of the photos is really unfair to the content of the book, since it strictly limits its usefulness as design inspiration. Ditto the poor organization of textual referents to page numbers later in the book. I can much more warmly recommend Jane Powell's Bungalow Kitchens and Peter LaBau's New Bungalow Kitchen, which are vastly richer in both content (former) and visual imagery (latter).
This is a little book!
I was a bit surprised when I received this book and found that it is a very small book. This should be noted in the description. The bathroom photos are the same as in other books I have on the Craftsman Bungalow that do not specialize in just the bathroom. I had hoped there would be something different.
Nice, but 6" x 6" size is problem
A nice book with examples of bungalow kitchens new and old, but some of the images are too small due to the tiny size of the book, about 6" x 6". Some of these images have been used before in an earlier bungalow CD. Book offers little more than pretty pictures; a minimal list of suppliers, no details, no how-to's. If you have technical questions, such as how to integrate a 1915 cast iron kitchen sink into a new counter top, you won't find the answers here.
