Style
A Home-Lover's Guide To Architecture and Design
By Linda Mason Hunter
Photographs by
Peter Vitale

Northland Publishing, Flagstaff, Arizona; 2000.
More than 200 color photographs; 208 pages, hardcover; $40.
Today's Southwest
is an exotic blend of Native American, Spanish, and Anglo
cultures. The dry air and bright clear colors are reflected in the
houses of the people who live there. From adobe casitas to log
cabins to strawbale homes, this book includes honest, ingenious,
and easily adaptable ideas that illustrate the "quality not
quantity" philosophy at the heart of the Southwest spirit.
Containing over 200
color photographs, Southwest Style introduces architectural styles
from Territorial to Pueblo to Spanish Colonial, as well as
accompanying design details. Complete with decorating tips,
historical notes, and shopping advice.
You won't find
howling coyotes or faux primitive armoires here. This Southwest
style doesn't look like a trading post. It's the real thing.
