Happy New Year!
In
the last year and a half, since we initially published Antique Home Style,
we've added lots of new content with plans to add even more. We are continuing
to collect additional books, brochures, and catalogs as well as original articles
from period publications and write new articles that synthesize our research
into usable
nuggets for your ongoing design inspiration.
In addition, we've spun off a brand new site that focuses exclusively on bungalows. We've given it the imaginative name of Bungalow Home Style, and plan to take it in a slightly different direction. In addition to original plans and interiors, we intend to add life style content too!
Meanwhile, our big plans for Antique Home Style include a design update. Read our design colophon to see how we came up with the various elements for banner and background.
One other addition, which you may have noticed, is the Donate button in the upper right hand corner of the page. Our site is a labor of love, but to continue we need to have some income to purchase source materials and pay for hosting. Such is the price we pay to avoid ugly, flashy banner advertising. Thus, we throw ourselves on your mercy!
In 2010, we'll add a marketplace with advertisers who are relevant to the interests of our readers. If you have a small business that serves the needs of old home owners, let us know. And if you are a homeowner looking for specific products, drop us a line. We want to list the best products to meet your needs and we'll scour our resources to find them and list them for you!
Mid Century Home Style
If you haven't already, check out Mid
Century Home Style. Even though it focuses on the homes and interiors
of the mid century, there's a lot you might be able to incorporate into
your home. Colonial style, for example, spanned a full five decades before
the Ranch and more modern styles pushed it into second place.
Interior Color Schemes
We've managed to collect quite a few interior color schemes from advertising and articles in a variety of publications such as Ladies Home Journal, Better Homes & Gardens, House & Garden, and House Beautiful. They span a period of about 35 years and illustrate some of the most common style interiors including Craftsman and Mission, Colonial, and some of the revival styles popular during the 1920s.

1929 Home Builders Catalog
One of the largest plan books during the 1920s was the huge Home Builders
Catalog. Broken out into materials from roofing to kitchen sinks as well
as sections on planning and financing a home, it's a cornucopia of information.
Half the catalog are small house plans in every style including small Storybook
and European influenced styles. More ...
