Have you received your issue of Romantic Homes magazine yet this month? If so, check out the feature on “The Romantics” on page 60, featuring designers from around the country sharing a bit of their vision of romantic style.

A few years back, we produced and photographed another amazing Michigan cottage on the west side of the state that was featured earlier last spring in the February/March 2016 issue of Cottages and Bungalows in […]
Rose Bowl Flea – Ready for Bargains!
It’s that time of year again, where the weather gets better and people are out hunting for treasures. Of course, if you are in Southern California, it’s always flea market weather at the Rose Bowl. Held the second Sunday of every month, the Rose Bowl in Pasadena fills up with vendors peddling their treasures and hoards of people searching for a find!

My favorite treasure from past visits to the Rose Bowl include my amazing vintage bread board, featured in the blog post Tray Chic. With many opportunities for […]

While we were shopping Antiques Week last spring, my obsession got the better of me and I ended up bringing home a truck load of salvage letters. LITERALLY! Yup, that’s my truck! Bet you thought I was joking. I would never joke about something as serious as my love for salvage. When we came across this huge supply of letters we loaded up and left no letter behind.

At Bungalow 47, we are passionate about making our living spaces unique and meaningful, and paint is a huge part of that. We believe your home is the scrapbook of your life, so we love a combination of found treasures that can be updated to function for how each of us wants to live today. Many of us have "grandma's old dresser" but don't know how to make it our own or have it work into a more up-to-date style. That's where chalk and clay paint comes to the rescue. Follow us and be inspired as we share ideas using our zero VOC, solvent free, and American-made paint.
