There's a lot more to America than just the east and west coasts. Today, innovative American design&#151;in clothing, home decor, even gardening&#151;is emerging from the Midwest. So lay your bicoastal biases aside, and let Amy Butler show you what's happening in the heartland.<BR><BR>Helping her fans jumpstart their own creative spark is Butler's fashion credo, and her approach has won her a huge following. Her &#147;Mid Mod&#148; philosophy&#151;neither homespun nor haute couture&#151;is as up to the minute as it is firmly rooted in Midwest tradition. Emphasizing simplicity and integrity of craft, Butler is passionate about recycling materials, reinventing vintage looks, and taking joy in the homemade. Her approach&#151;drawing its inspiration from the natural world and the lives of real people&#151;is organic in every sense of the word.<BR><BR><I>Amy Butler's Midwest Modern</I> brings the many aspects of its author's vision into focus, from re-imagining the home as a retreat for relaxation and dreaming, to picturing the body as a canvas for creating one's personal style, to looking to nature as a &#147;sketchbook&#148; for design ideas. Vibrantly illustrated, the book underscores design's practical side, with information on budgeting money and time, a shopping resources list, and &#147;how-to&#148; projects in every chapter. 1004270 1 10 2007 Amy Butler's Midwest Modern: A Fresh Design Spirit for the Modern Lifestyle total:110|5:33|4:37|3:30|2:9|1:1| 110 422 166 30 1018146 1584795816 9781584795810 110 30 3.84 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1180275078m/1018146.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1018146.Amy_Butler_s_Midwest_Modern_A_Fresh_Design_Spirit_for_the_Modern_Lifestyle 4 0 false Sun Jun 01 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Wed Mar 04 15:07:25 -0800 2009 Wed Mar 04 15:12:46 -0800 2009 more...]]> 1018146 1584795816 9781584795810 110 30 3.84 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1180275078m/1018146.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1018146.Amy_Butler_s_Midwest_Modern_A_Fresh_Design_Spirit_for_the_Modern_Lifestyle 3 0 false Mon May 18 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Tue Jun 02 10:32:04 -0700 2009 Tue Jun 02 10:34:36 -0700 2009 1

Particularly loved the way Amy and her husband have decorated their studios. A gurney for a desk? Awesomely unexpected in such an otherwise sweetly decorated place. ]]> 1018146 1584795816 9781584795810 110 30 3.84 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1180275078m/1018146.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1018146.Amy_Butler_s_Midwest_Modern_A_Fresh_Design_Spirit_for_the_Modern_Lifestyle 5 0 false Tue Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Wed Jan 09 17:50:14 -0800 2008 Tue May 13 08:18:16 -0700 2008
