WOODEN HOUSES

From Judith Miller comes a celebration of wood as it is used in the structure and decoration of our homes - from early Colonial clapboard houses to Victorian homes with ornately carved gables. Wood has always played an important part in architecture and construction, and has long been valued for its practical benefits, but it was wood’s vast decorative potential that ensured its continued use. With inspiring photographs from James Merrell, this book explores the myriad ways in which wood has been used aesthetically, from the quaintly traditional to the overtly modern.
