Same basic book as "Early American Country Interiors" with a few format changes and of course different homes. As I said there, this is about creating the modern interior designer's concept of what a "country" faux early american home should look like for those into that style.

Realize this has nothing to do with historical authenticity, unless you think people really hung corn up in their living rooms, collected checker boards and hung them in the hallway, or took all their nesting boxes out and stacked them up like a Christmas tree, when in fact they were made to nest. There's a lot of silliness here I enjoyed the designer who said the objects on your mantle basically didn't matter so long as they were the correct size. So there you go.

Big emphasis on the influence that David T. Smith has had on kitchens, in both this and the Interiors book. One person found this helpful. I bought two of his books. Both are beautiful with stunning photographs. I just like looking at old country and early American furniture for things to copy, either quirky details or whole pieces.

I barely read the text, to be honest, so I won't comment on that aspect, but I will say the photos of rooms are not great for studying the individual pieces furniture.

This is not a criticism--just to say these books wouldn't be my first choice if I were looking for furniture. That said I really do enjoy looking at these books, even though I'm not really the target audience.

My only complaint might be that a few too many of the photos feature the work of David T. I love his workshop's stuff and have learned a lot from him, but there comes a point when the photos seem like they're from an advertising brochure. I am happy to have both.
