They are versatile, useful, and beautiful. They mark boundaries, create barriers, deter animals, frame views, and block eyesores. Shrubs can promote privacy, offer a welcome to guests, or act as a background in a border. As ground covers, they can control erosion or act as an attractive, low-maintenance alternative to lawns. In their all-season versatility, they provide flowers and fragrance, colorful foliage, berries for the birds, and green color in winter. Because shrubs are not throwaway plants, it's all the more important to buy the right shrub for the right place.Too many gardeners have had the experience of putting in a neat little shrub and watching it grow to be a window-blocking monster.

After years of largely echoing the furniture, fabrics, and accessories linked with the region of Provence, these days French country is often far removed from the primitive rough-hewn finishes that hearken back to the early seventeenth century and the picteresque countryside. Today's French country has dressed itself up. Setting it apart now and forever is a kaleidoscope of styles, reflecting various influences and periods, with furnishings most often drawn from the reign of Louis XV or a blur of Louis styles that complement each other. This century's French-country home is a potpourri of bountiful bouquets, treasured books, photographs, scented candles, and tabletop antiques. Handsomely carved marriage armoires, towering vaisseliers (hutches) and enfilades (buffets with three or more doors) serve as the backdrop for armchairs, tables and footstools--all with the patina of age. Room by room, French by Design reveals the secrets to creating the contemporary French-country look, including textiles, furniture, floor coverings, window treatments, accessories, color palettes, wall treatments, and lighting. Illustrated with 130 full-color photographs, the living rooms, dining rooms, kitchens, bedrooms, baths, libraries, children's rooms, gardens terraces, and more exude the charm and grace of French style, allowing anyone to bring the look home--a visual feast. http://www.slingshop.com/product/Gibbs-Smith-Publishers-French-by-Design/152584 http://www.slingshop.com/product/Friedman-fairfax-Publishing-Country-Chic-A-Fresh-Look-at-Contemporary-Country-Decor/152561 Emphasize nature, simplicity, and a refreshingly down-to earth lifestyle in interiors that capture the best and the newest in country design.

Try out this updated approach with its flowing fabric hanging simply from curtain poles; cushions lightly trimmed with buttons, solid wooden furniture with distressed surfaces; minimal accessories; and natural materials. Eight key contemporary country looks are showcased, with ideas for translating them into a distinctive look for every area in the home: Rustic, with its layered tweedy woven checks and warm tones; the creamy neutrals of Naturals; the mellow pale pastels of Romantic; the sleek lucid lines of Monotone; the deep red velvety textures of Modern Rose; the dazzling blues and sun-bleached whites of Nautical; summery Fresh Floral; and Creative Color.

This lovely, all-color book takes readers on an international tour of these retreats -- from Bali and Mexico to upstate New York, Provence, the Alps, and beyond. The arrangement is thematic, with chapters on Houses by the Sea, Mountain Retreats, Country Simplicity, and Exotic Escapes, so that the white clapboard simplicity of Nantucket contrasts interestingly with a seaside house in Brittany while a luscious Tuscan villa stand next to a quaint English country cottage. One shared theme in these houses is that they tend to be more relaxed in decoration than primary dwellings -- there is less need for working spaces or formal entertaining, thus the houses tend to be more open and casual, and enforce the mingling of family life and leisure. The informative text pinpoints the key elements of design and decoration, most of which could be applied to any home, and the superb photographs both illustrate these ideas and inspire readers' dreams. http://www.slingshop.com/product/Universe-Publishing-The-House-Garden-Book-of-Vacation-Homes/152375 http://www.slingshop.com/product/Mariner-Books-House/152138 From the first nail to the final coat of paint, blueprints to moving day, Pulitzer Prize -- winning author Tracy Kidder leads readers through the grand adventure of building an American dream. http://www.slingshop.com/product/Mariner-Books-House/152138 http://www.slingshop.com/product/Dover-Publications-Holidays-and-Special-Occasions-Iron-On-Transfer-Patterns/152017 Elaborate spirals, weaves, and other highly stylized elements surround imaginative portrayals by artist Mallory Pearce of exotic birds, horned beasts, mermaids, and other curious creatures.

For many of those years, people have tried to get the exuberant owner, Ina Garten, to share the secrets of her store. Finally, the energy and style that make Barefoot Contessa such a special place are shown here, with dozens of recipes and more than 160 breathtaking photographs, in The Barefoot Contessa Cookbook. Ina's most popular recipes use familiar ingredients, but they taste even better than you would expect. Her Pan-Fried Onion Dip is the real thing, with slowly car-amelized onions and fresh sour cream. Tomato soup is created from oven-roasted tomatoes and fresh basil to intensify the flavors. Meat loaf is as good as your grandmother's, but it's healthier because it's made with ground turkey and fresh herbs. The light and flaky Maple-Oatmeal Scones are baked with rolled oats, whole wheat, and real maple syrup. Now these and other famous Barefoot Contessa recipes can be prepared at home.

Her experience at Barefoot Contessa has given her hundreds of ideas for creating wonderful parties in a few hours. And they're all in this book.

Ina lives in East Hampton, New York, and Southport, Connecticut, with her husband, Jeffrey. http://www.slingshop.com/product/Clarkson-N-Potter-Publishers-The-Barefoot-Contessa-Cookbook/151894 http://www.slingshop.com/product/Gibbs-Smith-Publishers-Provencal-Interiors-French-Country-Style-in-America/151735 Inspired by the sun-drenched colors of southern France, French country, or provencal, decorating is the epitome of understated luxury, as fitting in the city and suburbs as in rural reaches. No matter that its roots are firmly planted in the small stone farm-house, or, mas, the typical dwelling in the Provence region. It is equally appealing in a remote chateau as in a stately manor house, or bastide. The most inviting homes exude comfort, tradition, and grace. Most people, though, say it is charm that best characterizes the French interior. But how does one go about achieving the provencal ambience? At its finest, French country style is the harmonious mingling of fabrics, textures, and patterns. Through stunning photographs, informative text, and an extensive resource list, Provencal Interiors details everything necessary for creating this harmonious mingling in America -- from wall coverings, to floor coverings, window treatments, linens, and furnishings. All 125 lavish photographs showcase the tradition of French country interiors in America. Betty Lou Phillips is the author of numerous interior design articles. Her work has also graced many magazine covers.

He opened his New York office in 1963 and, in 1984, became the youngest recipient ever of the Pritzker Prize for Architecture. Meier has built a series of masterful modern houses and a great number of educational, commercial, and cultural facilities, including the Getty Center in Los Angeles, one of the most important commissions of the late twentieth century. The Ackerberg House, begun at the same time as the Getty Center, explores various responses to California's unique climate and character. Situated between the mountains and the ocean, the house has remarkable views of both. Courtyards refer to the Spanish-colonial court typology of Southern California. While a ceramic-tile-clad facade separates the house from the Pacific Coast Highway, the ocean front is a more dimensional assemblage of posts and sunscreens that blurs the distinction between interior and exterior and invites casual passage to the out-of-doors. In 1992, six years after the house was completed, the Ackerbergs asked the architect to return. Despite his initial misgivings, Meier added a third story to the guest quarters, keeping the scale and proportions of the original composition but adding a new spatial progression and sense of expansion. He discovered, he writes, that he was able to change a house for the better and to infuse it with new life . http://www.slingshop.com/product/Monacelli-Press-Ackerberg-House-and-Addition-Richard-Meier-and-Partners/151488 http://www.slingshop.com/product/Thames-And-Hudson-Art-Deco-Interiors-Decoration-and-Design-Classics-of-the-192-s-and-193-s/151453 By the time of the great Paris Exhibition of 1925, the idea that an interior and its furnishings should form a complete design--a total look --dominated the thinking of both designers and their sophisticated clients.
