My southwest decorating bible,
By Nancylee Myatt (Los Angeles, CA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Under the Sun: Desert Architecture and Style (Hardcover)
"Under the Sun" has become my southwest decorating bible. I bought the book when I was looking for decorating and architectural ideas for a desert home I was building. The book explores and exposes all the of varied and amazing orgins and styles of desert and southwestern design. The photos are stunning and intriguing and the text is rich with information and sources. I have since used the book for paint and decorating tips in several homes. This is one book in my library that has become a favorite loner, and has ultimately become my best gift book -- mostly to assure it will return to my shelf.

Informative & Beautiful,

This review is from: Under the Sun: Desert Architecture and Style (Hardcover)
I was searching for a book on desert homes and architecture styles. This book is broken into several chapters on homes around the world living under desert regions. Thoughout the books there are dazzling and breath taking photos along with informative background on every country and building construction for the desert home. I was pacticularly interested in the great USA (Arizona, New Mexico & California) because I am planning to build a home in a desert region. I needed a reference to help me understand and view a desert style of living and this book has helped. You'll find some interior decorating, color schemes, landscaping and several ideas of bringing the dry outdoors into your unique home. I love looking at this impressive book, it sits on my coffee table for all to enjoy.

We took many southwestern home building ideas from this book. The pictures were so vibrant. We used the color combinations in many of our rooms.
