Overview
""Architectural Interiors"" stresses this important rule of homeownership - never underestimate the potential of good bones! What are ""good bones?"" Simply put, they're the basic structure, architectural elements, and fundamental characteristics that make up a home-from windows and doors to columns and arches, railings, pediments, fireplaces and beyond. Author Linda Applewhite shows how to create a comprehensive building plan to turn your house into a home through the magic of finding and using the right bones. It offers creative solutions such as adding a column or pillar to define a space, installing unusual cabinetry to give structure, adding a set of elaborate moldings for extra elegance, or installing French doors to connect a room to the garden.
