Undeterred by the Sleeping Beauty bushes, we walked in and I immediately knew this was our house. It took Mr. Truck a bit longer but he finally said, "I can live here." The kids, especially the girls, were not as sure. They were worried about the location, the landscaping and, with good reason, the paint. I could only see the front porch, the chestnut trim, the rope pulley original windows and the breakfast nook, the floor plan that was so much like my grandma's house. Later I noticed the 1958 pink bathroom. Well, we still have the pink bathroom but a lot has changed. The Sleeping Beauty bushes were the first to go. And we love our home. It may not be our forever home, but for now it is just right.

That's a wonderful H! Your house looks so sweet.
Susan, yours looks to be the quintessence of happy homes ;)
I've never lived in a house with a front porch and pulley windows--- it would be wonderful.
Cute! I love old houses; they have such character and charm. Ours is 1926, but not Craftsman. I'm not sure what it is; it's some kind of cottage style that doesn't look like the rest of the neighborhood!
You've done a great job in fixing up your home. Definitely like the new paint job.
Excellent H. I love an old home that reminds me of past times.
I had to keep looking at the before and after I wanted to be sure they were the same house, lol. It looks wonderful...
I love your house! It's gorgeous. My favorite kind of house too.
Such a pretty home!
