From the Inside Flap
From comfortable simplicity to elegant showplaces, the settings, furnishings, and decor in Rustic Artistry for the Home raise the standard for excellence in this growing field of collectible handcrafted furnishings. Ralph Kylloe, touted by many to be the leader in the rustic revival, gives us a privileged look at never-before-photographed interiors and takes us along as he visits multi-million-dollar homes deep in the heart of the American wilderness. His eye is undisputedly keen on quality. He reminds us that our inderent connectedness with nature is the reasonwe are drawn to furnishings from the forest, from roots, from all the natural woods nature offers. Along with regional styles and past masters, the most talented new rustic furniture artists are showcased here, expanding not only the craftsmanship of furniture making but also the vocabulary of rustic style in our time.

The uniqueness of both life and consciousness often evades us. The notion of our close connection to all other things, both organic and inorganic, is not something that most of us dwell upon. For instance, the molecules and the laws of nature that govern all things are exactly the same laws and molecules that exist in galaxies millions of light years from us. We and all things are far more closely connected than we dare realize. There are only a few more than a hundred naturally occurring elements throughout the cosmos, and all living things share these in common; just a few of those elements include carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen. We are tied, for all time, to all other things in the cosmos.
