4.0 out of 5 stars Bungalow Style - Good Design Tips, June 16, 2000

By 

Leslie D (San Francisco, CA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Architecture and Design Library: Bungalow Style (Arch & Design Library) (Hardcover)

I see a lot of books about Craftsman style bungalows, but this one is more about interior design than the actual style of the house. It gave me tips for how to use things I already have in the home to decorate my house.

1.0 out of 5 stars Off the subject, March 16, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Architecture and Design Library: Bungalow Style (Arch & Design Library) (Hardcover)

This book has some very nice views of bungalows but either the author or more likely the editor does not know what a true bungalow is. The range of the views is so broad as to make the subject meaningless.

It does not show what potential buyers are looking for. There are many important buildings, some by Greene & Greene, illustrated but not identified in the text of the captions. This is a book of nice photos of small homes, not one of Bungalows. It seems that they don't know what they are doing and are misleading readers with the contents and commentary.

Unless you are mereely looking for a few, very few, decorating ideas, the book will be of no benefit.

This review is from: Architecture and Design Library: Bungalow Style (Arch & Design Library) (Hardcover)

i am no architecture student, but a good number of these seem like bungalows. I bought this book because i liked looking at the photographs of the homes. i like craftsman style homes and there are a lot of those in here. it is a pretty book and I still enjoy flipping through it from time to time.
