With a focus on architecture and details, rustic expert and author Ralph Kylloe introduces creative rustic designs that are inspiring a revival of cabin craftsmanship in his newest book, The Rustic Cabin. Kylloe provides photographic details of the highest-quality workmanship in stone masonry and log work, highlighting the unique blend of fine antiques and contemporary furnishings that these homes exhibit. The Rustic Cabin features homes that are rich in vision, beauty, and warmth, photographed only as Ralph Kylloe could capture them. Ralph Kylloe received his Ed.D. He is author of eleven previous books.. Arts & Crafts, Scandinavian, and Western legacies in furniture building and interior styling make each room a smorgasbord for th
"A marvelous look at western luxury homes" according to J. Hale. There's nothing "rustic" about these luxury ranch homes, and the word "cabin" is definitely a euphemism. The houses are as big and gorgeous as the settings they reside in, and the author's photographs capture both. If you want the vicarious thrill of seeing how the rich spend their summers in Montana, then book is for you.. "Architect designed "cabins"" according to E. Creekmore. This is a beautiful, expensive book with many photographs. It's title is very misleading as it implies a study of rustic cabins; it is actually of "great halls of lodges." Mr. Kylloe feels their basis is the Arts and Crafts movement's influence on their architects; however, the true rustic cabin began with early settlers' struggles to survive and build rude shelters from the ubiquitous forest crowding around them. The photographs are especially of items like "luxury top-of-the-line kitchen appliances" or "a highly ornate, 17th Century gold-gilded corner cupboard (which) rests in the dining room." I feel cheated by the title and description . "Mega Cabins" according to SBH. A beautifully executed book. The "cabins" this book concerns itself with are, by and large, mountain-mansions of the ultra wealthy. The residence shown in this book are "cabins" in as much as the glided summer homes of Newport, Rhode Island are "cottages."The value of the book, beyond a record of truly beautiful design and execution of ideas when given an unlimited budget, is, as with most architectural endeavors, to take away some inspiration reduce it's scale and apply it to more modest undertakings.
