Jane's New Book

Finally my copy of Jane Powell's latest bungalow encyclopaedia arrived, Bungalow Details Interior. Crucial books for old house lovers, Jane's newest tome offers commentary on subjects ranging from stove hoods to sleeping porches.

There's a slew of Bungalow/Arts & Crafts books, a few languishing in the remainders section, most with photographs of the same eight houses built by the same three men. Jane's survey takes her slightly further afield, with photographer Linda Svendsen, supplying unusual details: anaglypta wallpaper, a tiled phone niche, and a marble-backed fuse box.



Lots of good period advertisements, plus some opinions (gasp)!
