Bungalow Booklist

Interested in Bungalows?

Here are my top four recommendations for information on Bungalows.

Bunaglow: The Ultimate Arts & Crafts Home. This book by Jane Powell, bungalow goddess and her photographer Linda Svendson is expensive, but is an excellent look at the history of bungalows, photographs of different styles of bungalows, and a general philosophy of bungalow life.

Bunaglow Nation. This book is a look at bungalows throughout the United States. Mostly photographic in nature, it covers stylistic differences in bungalow dwellings from a regional perspective.

Bungalow Details: Exterior by Jane Powell and Linda Svendson. This is the resource for anyone considering making any remodeling changes to bungalow style homes. It covers renovation, historic accuracy, and gives options for those who want to do an obsessive restoration, as well as those who want more modern options. It goes hand and hand with her Bungalow Details: Interior book and her books looking at the restoration of those tricky rooms - Bungalow Kitchens and Bungalow Bathrooms

The New Bungalow. Authored by several including one of the founders of the Bungalow Company, writes this book looking at bringing the style of the early bungalows into a new home. Not for the purists out there, but a good look at those wishing to get the openness and style of the smaller family homes.
