My fantasy life lives between the covers of this book. If I ever become a very rich person *this* will be my life. The pictures in this book are just beautiful, and it shows homes I would love to have, though never will. I enjoy looking at it occasionally when I can stand not having all of this loveliness. Great for ideas on decorating if you have a fat wallet.

Beautiful interiors, lovely appointments, unique art displayed in beautiful homes, but not what I was expecting. I guess I saw “Adobe” and expected a treatises on Adobe homes, & got interior designers. Will read the jacket more carefully next time.

Intro was super interesting. The actual bits about the homes was okay.

Antoher visual treat. I keep this one handy as an antidote to Minnesota winters and my own bland home decor.
