Here’s what I’m hooked on today–this charming Craftsman Bungalow that I spotted over at Lookiloos. I love everything about it, from the front porch to the pergola in back. The entire home was lovingly renovated. There are “secret hiding spots” on each floor, like a hidden room off one of the bedrooms, and another underneath the stairs. There’s even a clever hide-away for the dog food bowl in the kitchen!
Go to Lookiloos to take the full house tour. Be sure to scroll all the way down to the bottom of the page to see the entire slideshow. If you like Craftsmans as much as I do, then you won’t want to miss a single photo.
Now it’s your turn to tell us what you’re hooked on today! If you have something to share with us on your blog, then add your link below.

I think I love everything about this house. Like in love. Seriously. I think it is possible that it was meant to be my house, but cruel fate thwarted my destiny.

My last house was a Craftsman-influenced colonial, and I miss all the builtins and wood trim. I love the kitchen in this house.

Dagny @ Beautiful Living’s last blog post..Stuen min del 1 / My Living Room – part 1
i love all the windows on the first floor. the masterbed room was nice. but i personally…..love more mirrors. not many mirrors in that house.
and the dog bowl. unreal. my dog is like a little hog. she would have never kept that area so clean. its a cute idea. but, it wont rock in my house. the piglet needs to be messy. infact when she is a little ticked at us she kinda spreads her food around the kitchen.
Hi Julia,
Well I’m back, I hope I have done all the right things to link to you this week, last time I was lost in the system. Drop over and have a look, however you do have to scroll down through a few of my images to get to my post section, it’s just the design of my blog.
I,m hooked on so many things at the moment, especially bogging and blogging parties. I have a post on beautiful old images of vintage hats, I love them.
Have a great weekend,

I love that bungalow and I love where it’s located – Los Gatos! My husband was living there when we met. It’s a wonderful California town full of renovated bungalows. I could live there!! Can’t wait to share this post with my husband. Thanks Julia – you find the best houses.

We lived in Los Gatos for awhile when I was a child, I remember it well. We were there last year, it is an awesome little community. That is so cool to see!
I LOVE the kitchen in this Craftsman! And the bathrooms are great, too – that’s my next project!

Okay….so I haven’t quite figured this out yet! How to link to my post WITHOUT just linking to my whole blog! So I linked twice, because I couldn’t figure out how to go back in and fix it or delete it, on your site. I am so sorry! You have to help me again. Please email me, if you can and tell me what I should be doing!
Thanks,
Lisa
Oh man, houses like that make me wish I were rich and could have the perfect house where someone else did all the work for me. That was such an awesome remodel.
Aubrey’s last blog post..Bedheaded Randomness
Lisa–
A lot of people are having trouble with this today, so don’t feel bad. I’ve had to delete quite a few links because they weren’t inserted correctly, or they were the main blog address instead of the permalink to the post. If there’s a mention of Hooked on Fridays and a link back somewhere on the blog, then I edit it for them. If I can’t find any sign of which post they meant to link to, I have to delete it.
I know it’s confusing to a lot of people until they’ve done it a few times. To get the permalink, all you should have to do is right-click on the title of the post you want to link to, copy, and then paste into the Mr Linky.
If anyone is still confused, click on the link I put on the word “permalink” in the post, which will take you to a more detailed explanation of what it is and how to copy and paste it.
Thanks for joining the party!
I’m hooked on “hooked on houses”..can I be hooked on this house too! can it be anymore perfect…hidden rooms…sigh
sue@solsticehome’s last blog post..what lurks under

The Craftsman is to die for. Why can’t they make houses like this now??

I love, love, love Craftsman Style Houses. I love that quarter sawn oak look that craftsman furniture evokes. I can’t believe that Sears used to sell these houses as kits… Thanks for the link!

What a great party…I didn’t have to get all dressed up so I’m comfortable to go blog hopping and have fun…
Becky’s last blog post..Hooked on Signs of Spring
what a great idea putting a dog bowl in a drawer, very clever. I thought the wooms with nothing on the windows looked a bit cold, it must be strange at night…and the home owner scared me with his pale white skinny legs….

Ohh I’m so glad I found this site!! I love houses. Old houses. I’m currently taking photo’s of very old houses in my area of NJ where I live and saving them in flickr. My house is over 100 yrs old and I love it!
So you will see me here as a regular. Keep up the great work!!
And thank you =)

I’m baaa-accckkk. I’ve missed you.
Isn’t this house a peach?? I have to say, I love the Craftsman style…and since we were in Colorado, I kept telling Mike he needs to work on retiring (’cause I’m nowhere near being able to make that happen!) so we can live in a Craftsman in the mountains with our dog(s). (We’d get more dogs if we were in the mountains, natch. 
So I’ll have to show him this house to gently guide him…I love Lookiloos so I’m sure I’ll love the house.
laura @ the shorehouse.’s last blog post..The Happy Baker Returns
SO close but NO cigar. I want them to have had wood/stained trim instead of white painted and a prep sink in the island. And use a creamy pale white (like Benjamin Moore Greek Villa)on the walls instead of yellow, and plop it down in MY neighborhood and sell it to me at a price I can afford. THEN it would be perfect!
I mean to say the trim in the rest of the house, not the kitchen. The kitchen color scheme is nice! Perfect if it only had that prep sink.
The house really looks good! I want to have such house model, although it is called remodeled. I thought of somewhat like renovation of my house to look it spacious and very anew. Thanks much for the idea!
