Another in a great series of Sunset books that concentrates on mid century modern architectural and landscape design. Shows cabins and vacation homes with wonderful examples and many how-to do it yourself discussions. As with all these vintage Sunset books, the examples are works by the modernist architects of the period. Check out the cabin by Liddle and Jones. Especially cool is an example of building "an expandable core", which is a way to build the basics in a weekend!
Where does all this stuff come from? More importantly, where will we put it? Complete Home Storage, the newest edition of a Sunset bestseller, tackles this challenge with hundreds of updated storage solutions for every room in the house. Basement, attic, kitchen, bathroom, kids' More...rooms-you name it-there are storage options, you just have to know where to look. Sunset shows the way with creative ideas and projects that not only control clutter, but also add great design features, like double-duty furniture, stylish bookcases, and built-in cabinets.
Grass, the night sky, a postage stamp, a crack in the sidewalk, a shoulder. Ordinary objects of everyday life. But when we look at them--really look at them--what do we see? In the tradition of John Berger's bestselling Ways of Seeing, James Elkins's How to Use Your Eyes invites us to look at--and maybe to see for first time--the world around us, with breathtaking results. Here are the common artifacts of life, often misunderstood and largely ignored, brought into striking focus. A butterfly's wing pattern encodes its identity. A cloudless sky yields a precise sequence of colors at sunset. A bridge reveals the relationship of a population with its landscape. With the discerning eye of a painter and the zeal of a detective, Elkins also explores complicated things like mandalas, the periodic table, or a hieroglyph, remaking the world into a treasure box of observations--eccentric, ordinary, marvelous.
