For anyone who is planning to build or remodel a home or those who just dream of it, this is the book to have at hand. Author Kinulis and photographer Christopher cover every aspect of home design outside of the basic architecture, including exterior cladding and roofs. Chapters are arranged by function: doors and windows, flooring, walls, ceilings, light and heat, followed by sections on kitchens and bathrooms and the elegant little touches of hinges, doorknobs and drawer pulls. The photographs are beautiful and clear. The book includes a list of architects and designers as well as sources for the materials. While not everyone can afford a Chihuly chandelier, we can all revel in these wonderful examples of home design, using them as a guide for projects and daydreams. Oversize: 10x11.5"
