amazing book for california style!, 2008-11-06
i have the entire collection of these books and this one is my favorite. if you are at all interested in california style living, this is the book. the photos in the book are just awesome. the way they create the look with the lighting, blows my mind. the colors and fabrics are just so well put together. i use it for the coffee table but it's also something to get inspired by.

Great California Style, 2008-10-01
As a residential home design company "Jeff Andrews Custom Home Design Inc." [...]. This book has been a great addition to our library. Clients contact me from all over the U.S. and ask for all kinds of architectural styles. This book was a great help in capturing the California Style.

Building a house? You need this book! Fantastic!, 2007-08-23
This book has more inspiration per page than any other book I;ve purchased on home building. This is a literal home idea book in one package. Floor plans , detailed pictures and amazing ideas are all within the package. I;m building a home and this book has provided more inspiration than all other books combined. Bravo, bravo, bravo. Save the decorator fees, just check out the ideas within. You won;t need a decorator!

I wish they would make more versions of this. These architects rock!!!

Uninspiring mass production homes, 2007-08-07
I live in California and have been throughout the state admiring authentic "Pure California" homes. The homes represented in this book are not much different in design from a number of uninspiring tract homes I've seen from North to South. I was hoping to find some authentic Early California design when Pasadena was mentioned. I didn't realize these were all new subdivisions. I was disappointed. The addition of floor plans is always a great idea; these just didn't offer the architectural elements I was looking for.

Good residential architecture inspiration!, 2007-05-29
Great design! All the residential projects: The floor plans, the overall building, the interior, the furniture layout, furnishing and landscape are really well designed.
I would like to recommend this book for those who loves residential, interior architecture. It's worthed.
