Make Your House Your Home October 15, 2008

Two of my favorite books for decorating ideas are not really about decorating. They are more about the architectural bones of a home.  Better Homes and Gardens Adding Character with Architectural Details is a gem. It is filled with pointers and beautiful pictures on how to bring character into homes from the very old to the new. If you need ideas for molding, wainscoting, fireplaces, and stairways, you will find many examples here. The second book is Prefabulous : the House of Your Dreams Delivered Fresh from the Factory by Sheri Koones. It is a feast for your eyes; the prefab homes are completely stunning. The interiors have clean, uncluttered lines accented with wood and stone.  The exteriors feature timber, frame, log, concrete, and steel construction. Each time I look at these two books (and I’ve looked at them often), I find something new to consider for my home.
