Books and publications we love

One of our goals here at The Whiskey Porch is to provide well curated, high-quality resources to help you on your journey to creating a smaller & simpler life in your Nordic bungalow.

This is my first collection in which I'm going to share some of my all-time favorites, and my focus will be books and publications here. 
​

• None of these resources represent exactly my take on a small bungalow lifestyle or design, but they reflect the basics and core inspiration to get us there.

​

• In fact, some of these listings feature some particularly spectacular, huge, over-the-top homes.  Not what I would call a smaller & simpler lifestyle, but never-the-less it's a wonderful idea generator.

Let's get started:

publications for inspiration
​

American Bungalow Magazine
www.americanbungalow.com

This is an extremely high quality periodical with a subscription offering (4 publications/year) and the opportunity to purchase back issues individually. 

It's a great source for learning about the ins and outs of this architectural style and it's history.  The articles are all very well written, and  in-depth.  The photography is spectacular ​

and the featured properties are truly inspiring.

It is definitely oriented around the purest concept of the original bungalows, but sometimes features newer builds or remodels with a more modern aesthetic twist.
