The Craftsman and Arts and Crafts homes were a popular house style in the early 20th century and is having a revival. Distinguishing features of the style include interior woodwork, such as built-in shelving and seating, wainscotting and exposed structure. As for the exterior, Craftsman-style homes often have low-pitched roofs with wide eave overhangs, exposed roof rafters, decorative beams or braces under gables, and porches framed by tapered square columns.

Web sites, magazines, and other resources are available to help you with renovating ideas and tips for your Craftsman-style home.
