    Absolutely One of the Best Books I own
  

*by C***E on Reviewed in the United States on April 8, 2022*

I love books, my entire house is loaded with books in every room, except my kitchen. Before I bought this book I read the reviews. While I thought the unfavorable reviews made me 2nd guess buying the book, the cover was so captivating to me, so I took a chance. THIS BOOK IS ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL. Turning each page made me feel I was on a journey , a vacation yet at home. The rooms are gorgeous, soft tones color, spectacular decor and the perfect furniture for each room,  The architecture is to die for, so unique, different and exciting. Not sure what some  reads found unattractive. These rooms are classy, and each room pictured draws you into its spaces we all will probably never own, that is why I by books of decor and architecture. I highly,  highly recommend this book over those who did not recommend it. Try this book for yourself, I am glad I purchased it. I received it today and I am in love with it.  I my another one to take and leave at my weekend beach house.

    The Living Home
  

*by G***P on Reviewed in the United States on August 7, 2010*

THE HOME WITHIN US: ROMANTIC HOUSES, EVOCATIVE ROOMS is far more than another fine Rizzoli book on architecture.  This is a collection of the art of Bobby McAlpine, a meditation on the impact the space where we live has on our peace of mind and our sense of art and beauty.  Written by both McAlpine and Susan Sully, this elegant book, photographed splendidly by Mick Hales, explores homes that bear the imprint of McAlpine.  The homes range in architectural types and sizes, but there is a constant present: good taste and quality craftsmanship are married to interior design that shows a profound respect for the building itself and the lines of the design created either by McAlpine or simply enhanced by his impeccable taste.Homes such as these may not strike the viewer immediately as 'noticeable houses', but that is also part of the designer's drive: let the dwelling speak for itself, opening the structure to interpretation of romantic concepts.  He is as likely to appreciate the rooflines and the shingles that cover those roofs as he is to praise the approach of the entry ways of these homes - welcoming parlors that invite the guest to enter and grow to know the secrets of the home.  For McAlpine each home he shares has great significance and he sees his mission as one to enhance the lines, the atmosphere, and the comfort of the home as a palace of solace.  This is a poetic book, written in a style that in not only interesting but also endearing, a book that invites repeated readings and motivation to re-think our own domiciles.  Grady Harp, August 10
