2.0 out of 5 stars Victorian Dream Homes, August 15, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Victorian Dream Homes (Paperback)

This is not for you if you want Victorian homes with Victorian floor plans. It might be for you if you want modern homes (e.g. with "kitchen islands", attached multi-car garages, and 'open floor plans for the new century') that are designed (some more than others) to look Victorian-esque on the outside.

Maybe if they called it "Neo-Victorian Modern Dream Homes", people who want that would buy it and give it 4 or 5 stars.

I purchased this book with much excitement and enthusiasm only to find at least 75% of the floor plans have already been published. Not only have they already been published, but many of them in the first book with the same title. I wouldn't recommend purchasing this book unless you've never purchased a house plan book of Victorian homes.

This review is from: Victorian Dream Homes (Paperback)

If you love Victorian houses and architecture run, don't walk, away from this gigantic rip-off of a book. It is just a rehash of contemporary house designs disguised as Victorian houses. No photos, only cheap architects drawings. A great disappointment.
