Southern Living's editorial guidelines Published on September 22, 2019 Share Tweet Pin Email Trending Videos Photo: Southern Living Craftsman-style homes are some of our favorites because of their distinctive style and architectural details. These styles started popping up in the early 1900s as a way to show off the skills and time-honored techniques of American artisans. Because of this, they have a charming, hand-crafted, and one-of-a-kind appearance that many people have come to love. Not familiar with the craftsman style? These homes can usually be spotted because of the horizontal lines, low pitched gable roofs with large overhangs, exposed beams, wide window casings, and a welcoming, elevated front porch. Homes built in a craftsman-style commonly have heavy use of stone and wood on the exterior, which gives many of them a rustic, natural appearance that we adore. Take a look at these 14 charming house plans in the craftsman style we adore. 01 of 14 Farmdale Cottage, Plan #1870 Southern Living This charming cottage is one of our favorite house plans, because of the seamless integration of both craftsman and farmhouse styles.
