So lovely! And the screen door! and the window overdoor! Only back east! Peter Pennoyer and his delightful wife....Katie Ridder.....have just written the best book ever! "A House in the Country" A total Public Service....the perfect house for them.....and how to do it! The Eastern perfection! My friends Brooke and Steve Giannetti have just written the Western equivalent! "Patina Farm"; a new house that does not look like one here on the West Coast in Ojai.......heaven on earth. All the features of an old house....and the beauties....and all the conveniences.....and benefits of a new house.
Two masterpiece houses.....one Eastern......and one Western......new houses that feel old......these two books are my favorite gifts to all of us interested in design and architecture.....in many years! Bravo! Brilliant and instructional......gorgeous houses....totally different......and equally beautiful!
