If ever you want to be inspired, transformed, bowled over or "wowwed" by the possibilities of an old house... Read the Pomada/Larsen series. The pictures are breathtakenly beautiful and the text is quite informative. Lots of 'pearls of wisdom' there. Before you buy that victorian, read this book for some informative information. After you buy--keep reading (like a litany) to keep the vision alive amidst the rubble and asbestos. You won't be sorry ---you will be renewed. These books were like falling in love, or the collector's itch---The fever is maddening but the end result is Oh so sweet. Get them all!! (5 titles still available)
11 years after the publication of Painted Ladies: San Francisco's Resplendent Victorians, Elizabeth Pomada returned to San Francisco to gaze anew upon its Victorians, and found a new concern for authenticity, subtlety, and sophistication in what she now calls the "Colorist Movement." The examples she shows here, while still splendidly detailed and richly pigmented, are for the most part less gaudy than those in the first book, reflecting the emergence of yuppies onto the preservationist stage earlier occupied by hippies and radicals. Almost the best part of the book, however, is the many interiors she has included, often by houseowners with a keen interest in authentic restoration. Architecture and interior-decorating buffs alike will want to own this volume.
I bought the book for the pictures :) and was not disappointed! Beautifullly done book with absolutely gorgeous photo's of painted ladies.
Stayed at a 1890 built house and found this coffee table book. Did drive-bys on about 9 of the houses featured in the book. Decided i must have this book for future reference. Now when i travel to S.F. one or two times yearly i plan to check out the other homes listed. Bought it used, a real bargain.
The book was exactly what I thought it would be. It arrived quickly, and was packed well.It will be very useful on my tours of San Francisco !
This book is a must to any designer remodeling or recreating Victorian's inside or out!!
I bought these for a lover of old houses and they were a hit for sure!!Thanks!
lots of lovely images to look at for inspiration in craft projects or doll houses.
