HGTV’s Curb Appeal recently aired an episode featuring a renovation of a city bungalow that brought it back to its’ craftsman roots where it belonged.
Many craftsman style features were either added or changed altogether to enhance the homes’ curb appeal.
Among one of the final touches that, as the owners put it, ‘..added bling that the house needed’, was a copper rain chain downspout.
Here’s a before-and-after slideshow of a few of the improvements made to the home shown on HGTV’s Curb Appeal program.
Gutter Supply was the contributing vendor for the copper gutters and downspouts for this project.
It seems that rain chains, or rain cups, are beginning to enter mainstream retailing for homeowners. That’s great because I happen to think that they are an easy way to add a distinctively unique feature to a house as well as become an instant conversation piece. Look for them in home and garden centers in your area and the on the web if you’re interested in adding charm to your home. You should also look in your local phone book for a gutter company that specializes in copper gutters and downspouts.
I posted an article about rain chains, also known as kusari-doi in Japan, from my English cottage series of posts. Check it out!
