After
Andrea Kier owns and loves a Craftsman-style house in disguise, but she no longer lives there. Instead of remodeling the house where she currently lives, she decided to have Curb Appeal take a look at her first love. John Zanakis takes a small bungalow and returns it to its Arts and Crafts roots with some paint detail, a new front patio, a lot of landscaping and various other pieces of the craftsman puzzle.

Here's how they accomplish it:


  • By trimming the enormous trees covering the front of the house, making it more visible.
  • A new path creates a patio in the front yard as an extension of the already existing brick.
  • Landscaping using low maintenance plants along the path and around the house.
  • New accessories which give the house an arts and crafts appearance: a new mailbox, paint details around the porch, trellises in the front yard, a new porch light and a brand new phantom screen door.
