Inside the Bungalow: America's Arts & Crafts InteriorIn 1996, Penguin Studio published a landmark book-The Bungalow: America's Arts and Crafts Home by Paul Duchscherer and with color photographs by Douglas Keister. Its success was immediate and has been longlasting, for Duchscherer's authoritative text and Keister's great photographs helped to reestablish the importance of the humble bungalow as a historic style and its importance in the American Arts and Crafts Movement. People were so fascinated by The Bungalow-particularly the architecture, furnishings, and decorative objects found inside the bungalows-that it was decided to provide a companion volume, Inside the Bungalow, that would capitalize on the beauty of the Craftsman interiors. There are 250 illustrations-almost all in color-of front doors, fireplaces, living rooms, dining rooms, kitchens, bedrooms, bathrooms, and all sorts of details. Of special interest is the section devoted to the interiors of two of the "ultimate bungalows"-the Thorsen House in Berkeley, California, and the Gamble House in Pasadena, California-created by the Greene brothers, which epitomize the American Arts and Crafts style. Equally important is the "Before and After" section, in which thirty drab rooms have been totally transformed and now glow with the beauty of Craftsman design and furnishings. |
