Good Read

The Great American House
by Gil Schaffer III


I have a weakness for wonderful design books and this, my latest fix, is truly a great one. Not only eye candy galore, but thoughtful text.    
Gil Schaffer is a renown architect who works with the traditional elements of classical American architect and reworks them to suite the way we live today.  
The book explores the elements of a great house; architecture, decoration, and landscape, and how Schaffer integrates the three to create truly exceptional places.  A great addition to anyone's library.
