Farmhouse Revival

I bought this because I read Gladys Taber's Stillmeadow Farm was in it-and saw some new photos of it-but the entire book is beautiful-glad I purchased it

Great book with lovely photography. Overall, a pleasure to read and look at.

Its a nicely produced book, with some good photographs but overall disappointing, I thought. I keep books that are inspirational with wide-angle detailed photographs of good home designs and that illustrate how high quality furnishings are used, and that include detail photographs of the furnishings. The furnishings shown aren't worth re-creating in your own shop - just commonly available stock. There's not enough photographs of the houses, just bits of some rooms. Colors are vivid, design overall is weak. I'll probably keep it, but its definitely not one of my primary resources of design information.

A wonderful book and the best chapter was the home of Gladys Taber. I have bee a fan of hers for dozens of years and have even been to Stillmeadow but it is good to see the rooms on the printed page. It will be a treasured book forever. I live in a 95 year old farmhouse and altho I love my home it is nothing like some of the places featured in this book.....but it did give me lots to ponder.

I WAS CURIOUS ABOUT THIS BOOK BECAUSE I GREW UP IN A FARMHOUSE IN TROY, KANSAS. HOWEVER, THIS BOOK IS NOTHING LIKE THE FARM I GREW UP ON. THIS BOOK CONTAINS MOSTLY EARLY AMERICAN NEW ENGLAND STYLE FARMHOUSES DECORATED WITH ANTUQUES OF VARIOUS AGES. EACH CHAPTER CONTAINS A DIFFERENT FARM WITH GREAT PICTURES OF THE OUTSIDE SCENERY AND INSIDE DECOR..

Stuck on a few Farms. Would have liked to see fewer Great quality pages on more farms. For the money a few "special issues" or "best of" issues of Southern Living, Cottage Gardens, Cottage Living, Victoria would be nicer and half the price of this book.

Lovely images. Vintage, mismatched, grandma's old farmhouse. Real rooms anyone can achieve. Mix of farmhouse, country, cottage and vintage.

Susan did an amazing job with this book. Great vision and ideas. The photography is wonderful. I use this book as a reference on a weekly basis.
