I had this book in paperback for years. I relished it everytime I reread it.(It even inspired me to take classes from Missy.)Not long ago I realized my book was falling apart from reading it so I just ordered 2 hardbacks,one for a friend and one for me. If you love handmade art from all art fields you will love this book.I love seeing how and hearing why artists display art.

Interior design from an artist's perspective
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 17 years ago
I have owned this book for at least 10 years & despite quite a library of decorating books and magazines, this is one I peek at on a regular basis. The interiors are designed not for the latest trend shown in the magazines but are true to the craftsmen that live there. Each photo is imbued with such personality and creativity, I seem to see something new each time I open the book. Despite the fact that this book was published over a decade ago, it is not in the least bit outdated. As an artist, I seek to design my home with the same artistic yet homey-ness quality. This book is a sense of endless inspiration.
