The Great American Home!

The Great American Home is a truly wonderful book!  Architect Gil Schafer III is classically trained and also thinks like an interior designer, so as he designs he is aware of furniture placement and how the space will be utilized. He is also very attune to comfort and flow. This book has a lovely foreword by Bunny Williams, who has had the great pleasure of working with Gil.
I find the book not only utterly beautiful to leaf through but extremely informative as far as Architecture and detail is concerned.I think I may be biased as I have a 200 year old farmhouse and I am always drawn to historic properties. However, if you love historic homes, architecture and landscape you will absolutely love this book.  This is a must have for designers as a reference when renovating.
I am off to NYC to the Design Building today and tomorrow and will be sitting in on the panel discussion being hosted by Ellie Cullman of Cullman & Kravis, and Stacey Bewkes of Quintessence Blog. I should have some great things to post about on Wednesday, enjoy!
