When the Peterson's bought the house, it already had vinyl siding covering an old layer of asbestos shingles, which in turn cover the original siding.  Since the vinyl is still in good condition, and the color complements the bungalow style, they opted to keep it in place and simply paint the trimwork in coordinating shades.  The red-brown color is Ralph Lauren's "Takahe", and the lighter color is Dutch Boy's "Natural Desert".  The result looks good, blending the vinyl siding almost seamlessly with the original details of the home.

Original-style wood lap-siding will always look best on a classic home, but homeowners often find that restoring or replacing the original siding is cost-prohibitive.  In such cases it would be good to consider www.championwindow.com vinyl siding, using this Bungalowcious home as inspiration.
