Old Wood/New Home is all about reclaiming a homestead cabin in an imaginative way, either for permanent residence of for vacationing, and preserving nature's resources at the same time. Rich photographs of wood cabins, either reclaimed or constructed of recycled wood, shows a myriad of ways you can make a homestead building your own. From interior decor to architectural details, from reclaiming logs to blending new wood with old, author Lawson Drinkard shows tricks of the trade for building and decorating.

Concrete Dreams,
By "dmarquardt" (Lexington, Virginia USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Old Wood New Home (Hardcover)
Lawson Drinkard takes old wood, makes new homes and sets dreams in concrete. As with his first book, RETREATS, Drinkard tantalizes readers with stories-and beautiful photographs- proving that people can make their housing visions come true. Yet the book is packed with lots of "news to use." His tips on finding housing materials and working through zoning processes are priceless. This isn't just a book for the skilled craftsperson but for anyone who dares to set dreams in motion.
