Excellent book for ideas. A source of good bathroom design that helps you "see" how good it could be if....

This book makes me want to go to the beach. Or just move to the beach! It's a good book to get lost in when you wish you could get away but can't. When I look at it, I can almost feel the sun on my face and the sand under my feet.

I have had this book in my architectural library since its publication. I refer to it frequently as the primary source for information on the early 19th century architecture of Boston. We are fortunate that the authors are literate and the photographers sensitive and that this piece of architectural and social history has been recorded.

This book was a pleasant surprise. Purchasing what I thought would be a good idea book for an upcoming remodel of my basement, I ended up with a general schooling of the driving forces behind the Arts & Crafts movement. The illustrations exposed the styles of many of the great names of the era. I now have a more thorough understanding of this revolt against the machine and can better appreciate the efforts of Morris, Stickley, Hubbard, and others to save the craftsman. The resources at the end of the book are a treasure trove of suppliers for all things Arts & Crafts.

The book tells you everything you wanted to know about a fashionable beds and includes great photography. I highly recommend it as bedtime reading or as coffe table adornment.

I have read it for several times

This is a great reference -text book- for anyone who wants to learn about the principles of interior decorating or interior design. From learning the elements of design, to being able to understand what defined the style or interior decor of an era. Lots pictures, illustrations and at the end of each chapter you can test your acquired knowledge by answering its questions and/or doing the hands-on-assignement. If you are serious about learning the ABC of decorating, this is the book for you.

The books takes you to a far away place,it could be a Venitian palace or a Turkish house of worship. The colors and design makes you wish you were a guest at this hidden get away. The short stories that acompany the photos give life to the msyterious surroundings. The book is a colelctions of most peoples fantisy getaways.

Some of the best interior design photographic layouts I've ever seen. There are tons of ideas in the book. I recommend this book to anyone interested in highend interior design in Florida.
