Magazine

American Bungalow magazine is dedicated to the bungalow lifestyle, the philosophy of the Arts and Crafts movement and Craftsman style. Each beautifully photographed issue of American Bungalow Magazine brings you the very best of the Arts & Crafts movement, from furnishings to architecture, gardens to porches, collecting to interior design, new construction to renovation, from people who know the bungalow life.

The magazine Style 1900 was born in 1987 as The Arts and Crafts Quarterly. In the U.S. the furnishings of this period were often called Mission, Stickley, or Bungalow Style. As the Arts and Crafts movement changed with the times, the vocabulary of the Arts and Crafts movement entering the mainstream, The Arts and Crafts Quarterly became Style 1900.
