Amazon.com Review
This book is a feast for the eyes, featuring homes owned by craftspersons of exceptional talent. Each dwelling is designed and decorated to display its owners' specialty. I have a long way to go if I am ever going to have a home that shows my talents like these do. So in the meantime, I will wander through this book to see what it is like to have a home that is your greatest craftswork. I do have one question though, "Do these people have children?"

Art in everyday life,
By Andrew and Georgia Stephen (Los Angeles, CA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Hand and Home: The Homes of American Craftsmen (Paperback)
This is an exquisite book full of inspirational ideas for bringing art in to the home. The book showcases the homes of famous American craftsmen. Each home is a signature of the craftsmen's artistry and vision for living. The styles vary from minimalist to folksy to art nouveau. This book makes a perfect gift for those artistically inclined or for those looking for creative ideas when designing their home.

Interior design from an artist's perspective,
By
This review is from: Hand and Home: The Homes of American Craftsmen (Paperback)
I have owned this book for at least 10 years & despite quite a library of decorating books and magazines, this is one I peek at on a regular basis. The interiors are designed not for the latest trend shown in the magazines but are true to the craftsmen that live there. Each photo is imbued with such personality and creativity, I seem to see something new each time I open the book. Despite the fact that this book was published over a decade ago, it is not in the least bit outdated. As an artist, I seek to design my home with the same artistic yet homey-ness quality. This book is a sense of endless inspiration.
