All my buddies in Annapolis should watch their backs lest I buy their houses out from under them...

This book and Handmade Houses: A Guide to the Woodbutcher's Art speak to a part of me that longs to live in a land of sprites and dryads. The photographs here are dreamy and intoxicating, luring me to imagine...

I absolutely love coming back to this book. I read through it here and there and am always browsing the photographs. The homes included are so unique and organic. The way of life depicted is a culture all its own with much to appreciate.
Even for those who enjoy art and interior design, I love this book simply for inspiration!

Little text mars the brilliant photography of Jonathan Elliott as page after page of idyllic and natural, woodsy, Woodstock-like homes are shown!
From the all natural built of natures bounty and natural materials, to that of recycled items.
Earth, stone, timber, and even canvas are highlighted with interior and exterior shots.
A great coffee-table book. Or one to dream through on a wintry afternoon while curled up next to the fire.
Each page will make you "wish you were there!"
I give this book five stars and my thumbs up!

This book has been passed around our family for decades but everyone is always interested in looking through it. A picture book of old hippie homes built with whatever's available. I won't deny that a refrigerator and washing machine are must haves for me, but there is definitely something to the pared down lifestyle. Aspects of the book have carried forward - the tiny house movement, and re-purposing old doors or stained glass. I hope the home owners in the book can see that their movement has not been in vain.

My copy is from 1974, it is much worn and well used. A primer for those who are interested in creative living spaces.
