Unique Homes: Personalize Your Home Through Good Design

by Carol Soucek King

Do our surroundings really make a difference in how we feel? In the harmony with which we conduct our daily lives? In our exploration of our personal, professional and spiritual paths? The answer, as shown in The Art of Dramatic Living: Personalizing the Home through Good Design, is a resounding "Yes " Form, color, texture, light, proportion and material -- as well as cleanliness and order -- are powerful tools for expressing who we really are.

A Great Collection of Homes

The dedication of this book is: To those who understand that our home is our own personal state - our own private universe in which to express ourselves with care, imagination, and love. This book is a book of pictures of homes from around the US and from half a dozen foreign countries. These pictures reflect no particular style, instead they reflect what the individual owner, the individual designer wanted to express as his private universe. There are some spectacular designs that give me some thoughts on the house I am planing. There are some that I find don't appeal to me at all. But that is what you expect, what you should find in a book such as this. One thing you won't find here are inexpensive homes. These are nice houses, with industrial grade kitchens, often in spectacular settings overlooking the ocean or perhaps in a historic villa in Italy.
