Our Current Home: Mid-Century to Colonial Revival

 

I love Colonial Revival style…

It’s a classic style that’s influenced home design from the late 1800’s through the 1950’s. Colonial Revival flows nicely into cottage style too, which is where this house will be once it’s completed… somewhere between the mid-century Colonial Revival style and the good old relaxed American Cottage style / farmhouse style.

I’m aiming for this house to be wonderfully comfy in it’s styling and function.

Thanks for following along on my endeavors to try to accomplish this task, turning it into our home.
