With rustic design soaring to new heights, Ralph Kylloe again sets out on a journey of exploration and seeks out original awe-inspiring rustic homes in his newest book, Cabin in the Woods.
Both functional and aesthetically pleasing, each home in this extensive collection was handpicked for its beauty as well as its creative use of recycled materials. The homes are profound statements of ingenuity that honors the abundance of nature. Often called objects of art, these homes are also filled with extraordinary rustic objects that complement their overall design. Recognizably the leading authority on rustic design, Kylloe presents each home in glorious photography that reveals the heart and sole of its materials and setting and the families who live there. He teaches us that the homes are not just structures; rather, they are living, breathing entities that help to make the world a better place.
This library book was about ornate, rustic, arts and craft style, repurposed, elegant cabins mostly in Montana and Wyoming. It highlighted different construction and design companies as well as architects. Not my kind of cabins that I was wanting to see. I was looking for more down-to-earth, cozy cabins in hideaway places instead overlooking golf courses...but it had beautiful photos giving ideas of spaces and accessories.
This book features a number of photos of various cabins around the United States. I wasn't overly impressed, but for a fun read and a lot of beautiful cabins, it's worth checking out from your local library.
