Product Description

From the Author
Garden Style really does bring the garden inside your home.
Gardening is a great joy to me and millions of others. I've noticed how welcoming and inviting homes are when they are affordably decorated with the elements of the gardensm such as vintage garden furniture, old tools, watering cans,and even architectural fragments, and of course, plants. And how comfortable gardens and fresh-air spaces can be when are simply designed as outdoors rooms. The book blurs inside and out with easy, affordable ideas. Both ideas and the home of my friend Elvin McDonald,who is featured in the book,inspired me to create Garden Style. Writing and editing the book and finding all the hundreds of sources around the U.S. and even in England and France, and meeting people who decorate their homes and gardens in this style, has been a joy to me. I hope anyone who opens the book will find the same enjoyment from the simplicity and beauty of the garden.

This is my favorite decorating book this year. In fact, I can't stop going back to it for ideas! What can I say? It's me!

I bought my first copy of this book for a family member who was so excited about Garden Style that she asked me to leave so that she could sit down and spend time alone with it. It's beautifully photographed and full of ways to bring the outdoors inside. (My favorite idea? A new birdbath used to hold magazines on a porch.) There's even a guide to garden shops around the country-something I plan to copy and take along as we travel. I'll be buying more copies for Mother's Day and birthday gifts.

Gorgeous photography
18 April 2000
I love decorating books and have a slew of them, but this is one of the best. It contains page after page of fabulous photos, and is an inspiration for anyone who wants to brighten up a home with ideas from the garden. For browsing on a gloomy, rainy evening, this book can't be beat. It is also a superb coffee-table book that your guests will enjoy as much as you do. Highly recommended!

Page after page of stunning photographs of beautiful environments that real people can aspire too! My brain wanted to explode trying to figure out all the different things I wanted to incorporate into my home using this luscious book's examples. Its just a feast for the imagination.
