The arts and crafts movement is alive and well is Pasadena. It was at least 90 degrees out Sunday and the crowd was substantial considering the lack of publicity BHNA does for its annual house tour. Most of the houses on show were on Mentor and Holliston Avenues, and Craftsman or Spanish Revival styles. At the last house we waited 40 minutes in line to spend 4 minutes inside. But it was time well spent to see such beautiful architecture and interior design and get inspired to keep plugging away at our savings accounts. Bungalow Heaven is an offical Landmark District in Pasadena, with around 800 homes built from the turn-of-the-century through the 1930s. It's between Orange Grove Boulevard and Washington Boulevard, bound on the west and east sides by Mentor and Chester and worth a browse - just don't stake claim on any of the houses WE plan on buying!
