Synopsis
Wooden houses range from rustic log cabins and timbered country cottages to traditional alpine chalets and elegant clapboard houses with shaded verandas. Wood has always played an invaluable part in construction, architecture and interior decoration and has long been valued for its practical benefits. Indoors, wood surrounds us in so many different ways. Structural elements such as beams and vaulted ceilings become features in their own right. Wood can be used as further embellishment in the form of beautiful panelling or carved and turned banisters and staircases, and in original furniture designs. Whether it is left in its natural state to show the variety of grains and depths of colours, or used as a bare canvas for paint techniques, wood is a beautiful and timeless resource.

From Library Journal
The warmth, textures, and versatility of wood as a building and decorating medium are vividly evoked in this lavishly illustrated work designed primarily for browsing and visual pleasure. Divided into four sections?styles, interior details, living with wood, and decorating?the text is light on history and stylistic analysis but robust on decorative schemes, description, and practical tips. Miller, a prolific design author and cocreator of the "Miller's Price Guides" series, draws examples from northern Europe, the United States, and Australia. The book concludes with a directory of organizations, architects, builders, and suppliers as well as an illustrated glossary. A surefire winner for interior designers, decorators, restorers, architects, and artisans and a good choice for libraries serving them.?Russell T. Clement, Univ. of Tennessee Lib., Knoxville
