Exteriors by Inger McCabe Elliott, 1st Ed

About the Item

Exteriors by Inger McCabe Elliott. Published by Clarkson Potter, 1993. Stated 1st Ed hardcover with dust jacket. Interior decoration is only one way of expressing a personal sense of style with the home. Elliott, the founder of the trend-setting design firm China Seas, shows how to give the outside of your home just as much personality as the inside. Color by color, from the purity of white to the wild possibilities of multicolor, Exteriors shows how the appearance of a house can be transformed with innovative uses of materials, color combinations, and interaction with the environment. Two hundred houses across America, from Rhode Island to California, from Texas to Minnesota, illustrate how colors express moods, for example; red for boldness and passion, pink for a sense of humor, gray for grace and calm. Sometimes the houses blend with the landscape; sometimes they contrast boldly with the natural and manmade surroundings. Selected to show a range of seasons and times of day, the photographs reveal how juxtaposition of snowdrifts, autumn leaves, or a sunset on the desert can affect the color of a house-and the feelings it provokes. With a historical introduction, a comprehensive reading list, and a guide for reader experimentation, Exteriors is both a panorama of America's vernacular architecture today and a practical guide for homeowners. NPT Books, a division of Trent Antiques, has a large collection of used and out of print books on art, architecture, decoration and antiques with a focus on 1st editions, signed and limited editions.
