reviewed Building Construction: Methods and Materials for the Fire Service on May 20, 2015 Building Construction: Methods and Materials for the Fire Service
Lots of lovely color photographs. The style in this book is basically the kind I like, though perhaps more high-end. She decorates with objects she loves, mixing sentimental trinkets with valuable antiques. She even decorates using stacks of books. (Right up my alley, since I always have books hanging around!) She breaks some of the rules, and yet makes things look pretty. Some people may think some of her rooms too cluttered, but I prefer that to sterile, too-open rooms.
