Rating: Summary: Great Photography and Lots of Wonderful Ideas Review: a great boo
Rating: Summary: See the log cabin of your dreams.... Review: A great coffee table book for your house or mountain cabin! Most of these "vacation homes" are nicer than our regular houses. Great to curl up with this book in front of the fire.
Rating: Summary: inspirational for home building Review: CABIN FEVER HELPED US IN REMODELING A 1930'S CABIN IN THE HILL COUNTRY OF TEXAS. THERE ARE UNLIMITED IDEAS IN THISONE BOOK. WE WISH WE COULD USE THEM ALL!!! WE'VE EVEN ORDERED ONE FOR OUR BUILDER TO KEEP, HE'S USED OURS SO MUCH.THIS IS A MUST-HAVE BOOK, EVEN IF JUST FOR THE COFFEE TABLE.
Rating: Summary: Inspirational Review: CABIN FEVER is great if you want to simply look at pictures and get inspired. I bought a copy, and I have enjoyed it. But that's as far as this book goes. However, I also bought a book called SECOND HOME, which I found on Amazon.com, and that has become our favorite getaway book. SECOND HOME inspires me with its lush photography of homes (and settings) around the country, but Second Home is equally valuable because it has so much information that keeps guiding us as we work toward turning out dreams into reality. (Second Home talks about how to shop for real estate, how to evaluate a small town or a region, etc. We liked the chapter that is a series of quizzes with dozens of photos to help you decide what kind of home or setting or view or climate you want. That was interesting to go through.)
Rating: Summary: Cabin Fever Review: Excellent book with great pirctures of rustic rooms and homes. Great decorating ideas!
Rating: Summary: Delightful Review: Fun and inspirational book. If, however, you love the away-from-it-all look and want to decorate that way in your present home, wherever it is and whatever its style, do take a look at a decorating book called Cottage Style.
Rating: Summary: Cabin Fever Review: Great coffee table book. Lots of pictures of cabin exteriors and interiors. Includes lots of ideas for the cabin you may want to build one day.
Rating: Summary: Outstanding photographs Review: I have been searching for books for months now that would give me real life examples of cabin type homes to use in designing my country home. While there are a lot of books out there on small cabins, I was looking for a book that showed examples that I could incorporate into a larger home. This book is exactly what I was looking for! The photographs are beautiful and truly capture some of the key elements that make these homes special. The author has managed to find some of the best examples out there of truly beautiful, well designed log/natural material homes.In addition to the photographs, the narative is also quite entertaining. It helps the reader understand some of the thinking that went into the creation of these great spaces. If you are looking for a very enjoyable book with wonderful pictures of a vast collection of cabins (both small and large), then this is the book you have been looking for! I know it was for me; I already have dozens of ideas that I plan on incorporating into my, not so small, cabin. Enjoy!
Rating: Summary: A lovely book for dreaming on Review: I have salivated over this book for several years and finally bought it. It has great photos of log homes all over America, from the northeast to the southwest. Some are quite famous examples of camps from the early 1900s, say, in the Adirondacks or New England. Others are quite new. I not only liked the way they were presented and photographed, all in color, but also enjoyed the text describing when each cabin was built, who built it and so on. It was also very interesting to see the way each cabin was decorated, some with very beautiful artifacts, others quite utilitarian, but each with its own charm. It is delightful to browse through the text and photos every now and then just for fun and inspiration. I plan to display it next to a little model of a log cabin I have. If you love log cabins you will enjoy this book and find it very interesting. A great book for the family cabin or lodge, or for those who have always wished for a log cabin like me!
Rating: Summary: Cozy and warm Review: I like this book, because it shows cozy and warm interiors with (of course) a getaway look to them. However, my favorite getaway style book is still the one called Second Home because it shows more variety of architectural and decorating styles.
