Customer Reviews

Simple & Understandable
A simple presentation to understand the "Arts & Crafts Movement". As a builder I am constantly looking for details that set my work apart from the "also-rans". I continue to reference this publication for trim details, and share them with my customers to create an exciting, unique, and exceptional building experience.

Living in the Arts and Crafts Style
Great decorating book with lots of ideas for furniture, wall colors and rugs.

Unique Book
This book has a very practical format. The fold out pages show examples of the various elements found in a typical Craftsman home. The pages are made of good quality paper to withstand use. The many color photos do an excellent job of showing Craftsman colors. The only problem I have is that it arrived with the spiral disconnected from the cover and I can't seem to get it back together.
