Many of you correctly indicated that JoMar Acres is a Craftsman home. And just what makes it a Craftsman home? Here are a few distinguishable features of these homes – taken from about.com’s Craftsman House Style:
Wood, stone, or stucco siding
Low-pitched roof
Wide eaves with triangular brackets
Porch with thick square or round columns
Stone porch supports
Exterior chimney made with stone
Open floor plans; few hallways
Numerous windows
Dark wood wainscoting and moldings
Built-in cabinets, shelves, and seating
And here is our home sweet home, in all its craftsman detail.
-
- Stairs to the master suit.
-
- Stone column supports for the porch
-
- Triangular brackets under the eaves.
Ooooh, Christy…I’m incredibly jealous of your Craftsman style home. I am looking forward to following along the renovation journey with you. Let me know if you have any photoshop questions (but it looks like you have taken care of that already!). I’m just about to pick up my sister from the airport but will be back to read more later. Congrats on the new house!
