Houses like this?

Not really a "design dilemma" but I'm wondering if any one has a home like this?
This picture is a Eatons catalogue house which our home was probably based on. Although ours isn't exactly the same plan, and not a kit house, the general look is the same. It is a very modest "craftsman" and I'm wondering if there is a style that describes it better. It has no fireplace or stained glass. Oak floors and 12 inch baseboards on the main, fir floors upstairs. The mouldings are simple. Three rooms on the main floor, plus kitchen addition and 4 and a bath upstairs.
We have a lot of inspiration, and would love to restore the exterior. Someone "ruined" the front in the 70s with aluminum windows, shutters and soffits, and wide vinyl siding over the cedar shakes and original plank siding. All the houses here have had their porches covered, that might be original.
Does anyone own a house similar? Or what style is this? It was built around 1910.

7 years agoOne main difference from my house and the Eatons house is the window jutting out and our house used to have more corbels. There are two other houses like ours in our neighbourhood and they have the corbels.

Comments (7)So you just want to enclose the top area to make it a place to sleep? Does it need to have a kitchen and bathroom or just a sleeping area? I am not an architect but you might want to ask more direct questions like " How can I enclose this upper floor to make it livable?". It looks like you live in a very mild climate. Perhaps you should put up wood walls with windows that match the design on the balcony panels. I am not a builder so I hope someone else has some ideas for you....See MoreDeodorize my house!

Comments (1)Hi Yen, We have 2 small dogs of our own, in our private home, (our apartment is designed and decorated. Being Interior Designers, we love and have a passion for nice furniture). In saying that, our Lhaso Apso sheds, and the Jack Russel loves toys. The solution, we treat them like our children, and like any regular parent, pull out the vacuum cleaner and pick up keep the toys in an open box (so the Jackie helps himself) in one area. Eventually the ritual becomes part of life, vacuuming and collecting toys every so often. Just like one does for children at home - i guess that's parenting to unconditional, loyal and faithful little souls. Enjoy your cat..... he seems full of pride of "HIS" home....See MoreKitchen design/storage ideas for compact kitchens
Comments (1)Wall hooks could be an idea if you have the space! Although, apart from the storage space that's in both of the photos you've used, that would be a good solution when it comes to no space in your cute kitchen....See More
