Remodeled Craftsman Bungalow: Too White or Just Right?

by hookedonhouses on December 4, 2008

I love old Craftsman homes like this. What surprised me most about this one is how the homeowners updated it. As you’ll see when you peek inside, all of the original dark wood has been painted over. Even the hardwood floors are so light that they’re practically white. They’ve given an old house a new look.

But does it work? Take a look around and let me know what you think!

The detached garage is used as an office space:

Do you like the contemporary spin they put on the house and all of the white wood and pale floors, or would you prefer a more traditional style? I’m sure there are a lot of hardwood purists out there who are cringing that it was all painted over!
