DIY Tower Shingling

The fancy-shingled conical roof atop the porch “tower” is a highlight of the facade. Now it’s been restored to match the original on this house built in 1908.

1830 House in Roslyn

In this historic town on the North Shore of Long Island, not far from New York City, a young couple found the old house they’d dreamed of owning—one with a long history, space for gardens, even a root cellar for storing their home-brewed apple cider.



Scandinavian Storybook

In the Pacific Northwest, a unique house with a stone chimney and tower and board-and-batten siding nestles in a fir and hemlock forest above a secluded ravine. It’s a whimsical mix of Swedish and Norwegian details rendered in a rustic Arts & Crafts style.
