Review title: Too historically obsessive for my new Craftsman home
Product review: If you want to be historically accurate, this book is for you. The author gives examples of "Obsessive Restoration" and a "Compromise Solution" for each element of restoring a bungalow bathroom. However, even the compromise was too obsessive for me. In addition, the author wasted way too many pages discussing the history of bathrooms, which is irrelevant to me. Her companion book, "Bungalow Kitchens" is much of the same. I just built a new Craftsman home, and my goal was to build a new home with historic influences, so what I was hoping for were suggestions on how to incorporate modern materials and modern conveniences to achieve a bungalow look. Obviously that was not the author's goal -- she's all about keeping the historical accuracy. This book has lots of illustrative photos, but they all look dingy and stodgy to me. I was looking more for something to show me how to bring bungalow style to my home without it looking outdated and old.
