1905 Bungalow

Joan Steffend visits the home of a man who was charmed into buying his 1905 bungalow. To enhance the existing character, he knocked out a wall between the living room and an adjoining bedroom to create a formal dining room.

He capitalized on the original 1930 mint green and black tile in the bathroom by painting over the walls in a glossy black. He removed the glass doors to the shower and replaced them with a simple white shower curtain personalized with a black monogram made out of scrap fabric.

In the kitchen, white subway tile gives it the feel of a New York apartment. A display table purchased from a local retail store serves as a breakfast table.
