Friendly Resource

This is a user friendly book to have close at hand. If you're like me I am always looking at ways to incorporate colors, designs and arts and crafts style into our 1922 Chalet Arts and Craft's home. I especially appreciate all the colorful pictures and the textiles shown. Paint, stenciling and wallcoverings being modest in cost and are realistic changes that are indeed affordable. Lots of ideas and examples to pull a room together. I refer to the book frequently and I am pleased I bought it.

Bungalow owners idea book

For newly into the arts and crafts movement and restoring our bungalow, this book concentrates exactly where we needed it to -- the interior. From shots of wonderful restored homes to our favorite section (before and after), this book will become our favorite resource. Excellently focused!

What an inspiration....great book...buy this book!

As soon to be purchasers of an 'arts & crafts' home in the Hudson Valley (NY), my husband and I never heard of 'arts & crafts' style homes. This book has been such a wonderful inspiration for us. The book is filled with color photos, wonderful ideas, themes and history! We will borrow from what we've learned and put those concepts, colors etc to great use in our new home. What was especially dramatic was the before and after pix of rooms/homes. You won't be disappointed in this purchase.

EXCELLENT IDEA BOOK FOR OWNERS OF BUNGALOWS

ANYONE WHO INCLUDES BEFORE AND AFTER PICTURES IN THEIR BOOK GETS MY VOTE. BEAUTIFUL HOUSES DON'T JUST HAPPEN, THEY ARE THE RESULT OF HARD WORK BY THEIR OWNERS. THIS BOOK SHOWCASES SOME WONDERFUL INTERIORS AND PROVIDES INSPIRATIONS TO THOSE OF US STILL WORKING ON OUR HUMBLE BUNGALOWS.

Perfect for the student, designer and homeowner!

Whether one is studying architecture for the beauty and style of design or as a career, Inside the Bungalow provides a great overview of styles and techniques as well as history. A textbook for those who are seeking a career in interior design or restoration. The beauty of the photography and insight of both the author and the photographer into the feeling and warmth portrayed by each individual home's interior style and visual statement is amazing. I thoroughly enjoyed just browsing through the pages and while there, learned more than I had expected about the importance of the bungalow in America's history. Although this might well be a coffee table book, it is more importantly an accurate and informative study for those who follow this architectural style and are enamored by its colorful history.
