Architecture in the Garden by James Van Sweden, ISBN 0375501541
The elements of garden architecture--paths, walls, gates, fences, terraces, sheds, lighting, furniture, waterworks, and art--together form the backbone of any well-designed garden. In this beautifully illustrated and accessible book, legendary landscape architect James van Sweden explains how to design and build a garden like a professional. He leads his readers on a tour through some of his most exquisitely designed gardens--in the country, in the city, in the suburbs, and by the shore. "When it comes to planning a comfortable and rewarding garden," van Sweden writes in his Introduction, "the challenges that confront the owner of an estate or a weekend cottage are often substantially the same. The principles and techniques used for organizing a large site work equally well in a more modest setting."

The Private House by Rose Tarlow, ISBN 0609604724
"There are those who spend lifetimes in houses that have nothing to do with who they really are. They may be perfectly designed, yet if they fail to reflect the personalities of the people who live in them, the very essence of intimacy is missing and this absence is disturbingly visible."
--From "a window inside"
One of the most influential designers working in America today, Rose Tarlow knows that creating a truly beautiful room is as much an emotional matter as it is one of color, light, fabric, and furniture. In The Private House, she offers insights into the mind of a master designer--as well as a glimpse into some of the extraordinary homes she's decorated.
Drawing upon her wealth of experience as an antiquaire and a designer, Ms. Tarlow discusses and illustrates simple principles of creative design that are appropriate to any home. Always arrange your comfortable, upholstered furniture first, she writes; pay special attention to how light affects your spaces; and use carpets...
