I really liked the smallish size of this oversize interior design book. It was comfortable to hold yet had big color photos all thru its pages. The text discusses the home owners achievements equally to the architect and builder. I found some truly beautiful interesting houses and furnishings to linger over. It's a nice respite offering a bit of a calm peaceful interlude in my day.

Great examples of actual Scandinavian interiors. This book does that thing which drives me nuts though. Description of wonderful rooms in a house but then no photos of said rooms!
