While advice from the individual homeowners is interesting and useful (try spicing up your space with fabric--a traditional pieced quilt can magically become a charming table-topper), it's the magnificent full-color photographs of the homes that will truly inspire those "seeking to re-create the beauty of the old in order to imbue their surroundings with a true sense of place."]]> 109790 3.40 10 1 1998 1096250 0847824756 9780847824755 0 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1180939906m/1096250.jpg http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1180939906s/1096250.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1096250.Santa_Fe_Houses_Gardens 5.00 1
Americans have been hungering for the wide-open skies of the west since the early days of this country and out of their continuing migration has sprung Santa Fe, which continues to grow in importance, in meaning, and in influence.

Santa Fe's popularity is immense. The "Santa Fe style" can now be found all over the country, manifested in clothes, furniture and furnishings, and interior design. Santa Fe: Houses and Gardens, with its sumptuous photography and lucid prose, makes clear that this popularity is well-founded.

Santa-Fe: Houses and Gardens presents the most significant and influential houses of the region, including Mabel Dodge's house of 1918, with its hand-painted windows by D. H. Lawrence; the house of Randall Davey, an artist who was influential in the movement to revive traditional adobe building techniques; and the Myrtle Stedman house, built following her injunction that it be "stretched out like a lizard in the sun." This book does not limit itself to traditional historic adobe houses, but covers many of the region's most important private homes and museum houses with their gardens.

No other book of photography evocatively examines the development of this singular American style, embracing architecture and interior decoration, which thrived from the early eighteenth through the mid-nineteenth century. Creole Houses offers an appreciation of Creole culture as seen through its historic homes and celebrates not only a memorable way of life, but the history, and the unique sensibility, that produced it.]]> 109790 3.40 10 1 2007 188446 0789315173 9780789315175 0 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1172545583m/188446.jpg http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1172545583s/188446.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/188446.Catskills_Country_Style 4.00 1 Catskills Country Style, the first book of its kind on the Catskills and its new style--what might be called urban-country-folk design--showcases this new style in the cottages and cabins of the region. Intriguing historic houses are included as well as a collection of more contemporary homes. Among these is Olana, the 1860s Moorish-style country estate of Frederic Church, the great American landscape artist and leading figure of the Hudson River School of painting. Also included is Pennyroyal Cottage, the 1880s first American woman to have her own design firm. These historic houses are the forerunners of the retreats of many current New York City-based artists, bohemians, designers, and stylists.

Current owners of Catskills country style houses are instrumental in shaping trends of today's look. These stylish innovators are creating an aesthetic with a new twist, recycling ideas as well as furniture with an individualistic philosophy that features an eclectic mix of flea market, yard sale, antique and handmade furniture, sometimes peppered with the latest international high-design avant-garde furnishings. This is a book in the tradition of Rizzoli's Charleston Style and Santa Barbara Style, and give us a glimpse into the homes and lifestyles of an influential and fascinating group of people.

Abandoned countryside and discarded buildings stand as silent memorials to the once-prosperous farming community of Schoharie County, New York. With an unique eye for the aesthetics of age, acclaimed photographers Steve Gross and Susan Daley honor this beautiful, troubled landscape in a collection of more than one hundred black-and-white photographs. Their work honors a legacy both precarious and perpetual, dotted with crumbling houses and barns, fallow fields and overrun woods.

Novelist Jeffrey Lent writes, "In an America that often seems confused and uncertain of its future at this period in our history, Steve Gross and Susan Daley offer something quietly optimistic—the idea that we can, if we push through the dense covering foliage, arrive again at heightened expectations of ourselves." 104 duotone photographs.]]> 109790 3.40 10 1 594747 3.00 1 1 2008 3417621 0891332332 9780891332336 0 http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-111x148.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-60x80.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3417621.Old_Greenwich_Village 0.0 0 109790 3.40 10 1 1998 3382595 1556701845 9781556701849 0 http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-111x148.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-60x80.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3382595.Old_Houses 0.0 0 109790 3.40 10 1 1991 2680892 0789313375 9780789313379 0 http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-111x148.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-60x80.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2680892.Old_Florida_Florida_s_Magnificent_Homes_Gardens_and_Vintage 0.0 0 109790 3.40 10 1 2005 2506401 0471144053 9780471144052 0 http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-111x148.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-60x80.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2506401.Old_Greenwich_Village_An_Architectural_Portrait 0.0 0 109790 3.40 10 1 594747 3.00 1 1 1995 2506400 0789314673 9780789314673 0 http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-111x148.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-60x80.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2506400.Old_Florida_2007_Wall_Calendar 0.0 0 109790 3.40 10 1 2006
