Greener Acres - Perfect Pool House in Chicago
Greener Acres - Chicago Home "Greener Acres ~ A grand home in Lake Forest goes formal and nearly flowerless with Euro-style landscape design" I love this perfect pool house, don't you? The article from Chicago Home Magazine is very interesting. Notice the lack of color in the landscape design . . . green only. Don't forget to view the photo gallery.

I really would love to own this beautiful book. I've always been interested in images of from The Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood. I think this is probably The Kelmscott Chaucer. I had a fine reproduction copy once and have always been sorry I sold it. Image via Flickr
