Be cheap yet chic when decorating your space!
Last week, I wrote about Craftsman style homes and one of their unique characteristics are the wide eaves with decorative brackets. These are the overhanging lower edges of a roof. They remind me of the Gingerbread houses we always make at Christmas with their overhanging edges dripping in frosting. Don’t you think they add an interesting element to the exterior of a home?

These homes are so adorable! Craftsman style homes, or bungalows (don’t you just love that word?) are characterized by their simple lines, clean style, and use of natural materials. You can identify a Craftsman home by its low-pitched roof, numerous windows, large porch, and exposed beams on the interior.

I think my favorite part of a Craftsman style home is the large porch. As a Southern girl, I love rocking chairs and porch swings, so a wide porch would provide ample room for these vital porch accessories. These homes just look so cozy!
