About the Book
Bungalow Colors: Exteriors addresses the importance of color in Arts & Crafts architecture. Drawing on the
works of such architects and designers as Greene & Greene, Stickley, and Wright, this new volume outlines
the history of color within the Arts & Crafts movement. The author provides practical advice for integrating
historically accurate colors today. Whether restoring an older bungalow or aiming to impart an authentic
flavor to a new Arts & Crafts-style home, Bungalow Colors: Exteriors focuses on "outside" solutions. Exterior
walls, windows, roofs, and other architectural features, plus body, trim, accents, stucco, shingles, and
clapboards are examined in detail. It's everything an Arts & Crafts enthusiast is looking for to create a
visually stunning bungalow exterior. A special section entitled "Before & After" illustrates some of the
marvelous transformations new colors can make on a house. A lengthy resource section will assist homeowners in
finding bungalow era products. Chapters include:
