  In 1909, in his Craftsman Homes, Gustav Stickley sought to tell what the style was all about, declaring that a bungalow was a "house reduced to its simplest form," one that "nevr fails to harmonize with its surroundings, because its low broad proportions and lack of ornamentation give it a character so natural and unaffected that its seems to blend into any landscape".

  Visible outside the sunny dining area are deep rafters, which are typical of bungalows, craftsman architecture, and southern seaside cottages, all suggested by this renovated and restored 1928 home. To maximize views, shutters are the only dressing on any windows. These were salvaged from a garage sale. The 1950's turquoise and black dinette was grabbed at a flea market in Pace, Florida, just north of Pensacola.
