Ranch House Style
by Katherine Samon
Hardcover: 192 pages
Publisher: Clarkson Potter; 1st edition (February 25, 2003)
ISBN: 060960628X |
| If you grew up in postwar America,
chances are you lived in or next to a ranch-style house. And the things we loved about
ranches when we liked Ike are still attractive—perhaps more so—today: the
liberation that comes with open-plan living, the casual feel of easy kitchen access, the
comfort of having bedrooms and children near at hand, the convenience of one-level living,
and the everyday luxury of smooth indoor-outdoor flow. So it’s no surprise that the
ranch is in style again—and this book showcases the best of it. Whether that style is
the mid-century modern of Corbusier and the Eameses, or the cross-cultural awareness of
the sixties, or the Pop Art and plastic of the seventies, Ranch House Style offers
inspiration and instruction on re-creating these looks in your own home. |
