Customer Reviews

An excellent resource for Southwest decorating

What an awsome book. Spectacular photography and wonderful examples of southwest architecture and styling. I constantly refer to this book. I like that all types of design are represented and not just the most expensive or the newest trends.

A New Appreciation.

This book is a good introduction to the Santa Fe Style, and covers all aspects of it from historical to the present. There are lots of great colour photo's and lots of old B & W photo's also. I just bought the book for information on the famous Boulder House, but after reading it I came away with more of an appreciation of the architecture, interiors, and culture of Santa Fe.

History and Great Ideas

The book was just what I was looking for, history of the Santa Fe style and great ideas for the adobe home I am planning on building in New Mexico. I have the plans, and needed the details, ideas for windows, corbels, portales, carving on the wood work, etc,etc. I came away with a whole notebook full of ideas! It is a beautiful book with over 450 gorgeous photos. Chock full of interior and exterior decorator ideas.

Lush historical perspective of Santa Fe style

This hard cover is suitible for your coffee table right in front of your Kiva fireplace. Lush descriptions and deep historical perspective give this work a "must have" ranking.
