Customer Reviews
Excellent idea book for owners of bungalows
Anyone who includes before and after pictures in their book gets my vote. Beautiful houses don't just happen, they are the result of hard work by their owners. This book showcases some wonderful interiors and provides inspirations to those of us still working on our humble bungalows.
What an inspiration....great book...buy this book!
As soon to be purchasers of an 'arts & crafts' home in the Hudson Valley (NY), my husband and I never heard of 'arts & crafts' style homes. This book has been such a wonderful inspiration for us. The book is filled with color photos, wonderful ideas, themes and history! We will borrow from what we've learned and put those concepts, colors etc to great use in our new home. What was especially dramatic was the before and after pix of rooms/homes. You won't be disappointed in this purchase.
Perfect for the student, designer and homeowner!
Whether one is studying architecture for the beauty and style of design or as a career, Inside the Bungalow provides a great overview of styles and techniques as well as history. A textbook for those who are seeking a career in interior design or restoration. The beauty of the photography and insight of both the author and the photographer into the feeling and warmth portrayed by each individual home's interior style and visual statement is amazing. I thoroughly enjoyed just browsing through the pages and while there, learned more than I had expected about the importance of the bungalow in America's history. Although this might well be a coffee table book, it is more importantly an accurate and informative study for those who follow this architectural style and are enamored by its colorful history.
