Well, in the course of a busy summer/fall this year, we forgot to post a few updates. At this point, we are basically done with all of the projects we set out to do in bungalow.
From the start, this home, and neighborhood has been an incredible place to make a home for our family. As we enter 2012, we will continue to post updates from around the bungalow, but they should be focused more around the community, gardening, and decorating updates.
Thank you so much for the time you have shared with us on this blog! We hope these project updates have given you confidence in the ability of a casual DIY couple, to tackle many rewarding projects around the house. Additionally, we hope that they have given you an appreciation for the time period in which the home was built...from the solid craftsmanship of the homes, to the design of the neighborhood with esplanades...it has been a great journey and we look forward to the coming year!
This past year, the coat closet project was finally completed. After sourcing a 100-year old 2-panel door at Audrey's Place in Indianapolis, we were able to convert a 1940's built-in bookshelf back into it's original life as a coat closet:
Before:

| Before, Coat Closet entry is covered by a bookshelf which we believe was built in the 1940's. |

| This vintage 2-panel craftsman door was the perfect size and style for this coat closet. The door handing was reversed from the original 1919 handing. |

| Inside, the closet now boasts room for shoes and extra layers |
