Front Jacket

American Rustic gives readers an intimate look at rustic decorating and architecture, presenting a fresh, contemporary take brought to life by the genre's foremost designers. Showcasing homes from coast to coast, American Rustic reveals New York farms, Santa Fe casitas, an equestrian ranch on the Yellowstone River, a secretly high-tech Montana cabin, and of course a number of mountain homes, each tailored to the unique area and climate it inhabits, exhibiting Rustic architecture's primary inspiration and concern: a strong sense of place.

Each space is consistently highly original and meticulously crafted, thoughtfully conceived, sensitively sited and beautifully executed. Exquisite photography and expert discussion open windows into dream retreats that fulfill a yearning for a simpler life in a chaotic world.
