I stumbled across the Hillsdale House Blog today. It a blog of the "The long and strange journey to transform our 1942 war cottage style house into a (circa) 1914 Craftsman bungalow, without going completely nutz." So I'm not the only one. I was reassured even further when they quoted a friend in their Back Story as saying “Just add some built-ins, extent the roofline, pop out some dormers, enlarge the front porch, and pretty soon you could have a nice Craftsman. Besides, you don’t have to worry about ruining its authenticity; it never had any.”

Happy sigh.
