More copies of this ISBN:Outside the Not So Big Houseby Julie Moir Messervy and Sarah Susanka
Powells.com Staff PickFor years I've drawn inspiration from the architectural principles in Sarah Susanka's Not So Big House series. Now, at last, Susanka (with landscape designer Julie Moir Messervy) opens the doors to extend her principles into the yard. Yes, many of the projects described in Outside the Not So Big House exceed my budget, but the ideas are easily scaled to suit lesser bankrolls and smaller spaces. Hope is here: Twenty real-life examples will help you see your property anew.
Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:In this groundbreaking book, noted landscape designer and award-winning writer Julie Moir Messervy and bestselling author Sarah Susanka reveal how to bring house and garden into perfect harmony. After all, who doesn't yearn for a landscape that is as well designed as the interior of their home? In Outside the Not So Big House, Julie and Sarah teach you everything you need to know about the design concepts essential to extending your home beyond its four walls.
Lushly photographed and illustrated with vivid drawings, Outside the Not So Big House explores how to build pathways and journeys in your gardens; how to make the most of your site; how to use details to bring it all together. Twenty homes from across the country aptly illustrate these easy-to-grasp design ideas. Fans of Sarah's previous Not So Big books will be pleased to discover not only Julie's clear, concise prose but also a new vision for creating home.
