Book Review: A Must-Have!
Summary: 5 Stars
As soon as you have to pick out a new window for your remodel -- which is usually very early in the process of remodeling an entire home -- you will run into the question of what color to pick and how it will tie into the outside color of your house and into your landscaping. Most books focus on the design of either the inside or the outside of the house, and while most authors agree on the importance of tying together indoor and outdoor spaces, most leave it at just that and don't show you how. And while I'm not saying this is the only book that bridges the gap between the two areas, it is most certainly the only one I have come across. The book's sole focus on the outside color of the house and the immediate landscaping surrounding the homes has helped me tremendously to develop a design concept to truly connect the inside of my home with the outside. The grouping of the book into house styles has really helped me to understand how to play up certain architectural elements and underscore the given architectural style of our home. And lastly, I have spent countless hours driving around neighborhoods looking at how other people have painted their homes, and the outcome has always been very meager, especially compared to the time put in, so having all this information at your disposal is just priceless!
