Comments from our editors:
Practical advice for those who wish to integrate historically accurate colors into their homes, whether restoring an older bungalow or aiming to impart a more authentic flavor to a new Arts & Crafts style home.

Schweitzer focuses on "outside" solutions - covering exterior walls, windows, roofs and other architectural features, plus revealing which colors are traditionally used for body, trim, accents, stucco, shingles and clapboards. Real-life restorations are showcased in color photographs throughout, including some "before" and "after" shots of bungalow color makeovers.

It's everything an Arts & Crafts enthusiast is looking for to create a visually stunning bungalow exterior.

About the Author: Robert Schweitzer teaches architectural history and historic preservation at Eastern Michigan University. He is an advisory board member for American Bungalow magazine and a columnist for Victorian Homes magazine.
