Another Craftsman

Not much to say about this. You can see the original style, so the house still retains much of its charm. The windows have been replaced with new ones that keep the original shape, if not the panes. The nice front porch has those nifty craftsman support brackets, and if you look closely,, you can see them on the left side of the house as well. The front deck added to the left of the original porch doesn't detract too much from the original style.

I would have done three things differently:

1. I'd have replaced the original windows with some that were closer in style to the originals, or at least wood-clad on the outside so they could be some color other than white.
2. I'd have painted the trim a different color. Maybe white, to disguise the windows?
3. I'd have put one of those neat old-style wooden screen doors on, instead of that ugly white one.
