The Bungalow: America's Arts and Crafts Home

You don't have to live in a Craftsman-style bungalow house--as I have for nearly a decade--to appreciate the popular architectural style that flourished in the early 20th century, or this handsome book devoted to it. Interior designer Paul Duchscherer and photographer Douglas Keister have combined their talents to give the bungalow its due, defining the style and its variations, discussing its influences and its evolution. Keister has a great eye for color and design; he is a man who loves wood and makes no bones about it. Warning: you may want to talk to a real estate agent about a Craftsman of your own after looking at the beautiful homes in this volume.
