Since I have told everyone we are building a bungalow--the question has been asked,"What is a bungalow?"
A bungalow is a small house with one of each room on the first floor, extra rooms are in the attic. In other words there are no formals. They will always have a front porch either half way across the front or a full porch all the way acrtoss the front. The word bundglow comes from India. In England Bungalows only have one floor.
Originally a newly married couple would build the house, with one floor, living room, dining room, kitchen, one bedroom and one bath. When they decided to start a family they would add additional bedrooms in the attic. Some bungalows were built with one flloor and the stairway to the second floor before the second floor was built.
When we lived in Beaumont one of hte museum docents had one of these houses. The couple had the house built when they married. In the front foyer was the stairway to the--blank wall. They never ended up having any children so the stairway never did anything but decorate the foyer.
