Graylin’s Craftsman Influenced Bungalow

Name: Graylin Location: Corydon, IN We are about to move out of this adorable 900 sq. ft bungalow and into our dream house which is right across the street! My dad, Steve Porter, is a professional woodworker and took this house on as a side project. He gutted it and put his touch on every inch. Craftsman style cabinets and built-ins throughout, which is perfect for our style. We consider our style to be an eclectic form of modern with craftsman influences.
