Feng Shui for Dogs: By Dogs, for Dogs.......2002-04-08

I thought this was quite humorous.(Fang Chewy?!) if you are in to F.S. (seriously), this will lighten your day. I hope the author will do more books, example - for lawyers (with "shark" as one of the archetypal animals) !

I have seen everything now.......2000-11-14

Two things pop into my mind when I read this book. 1) Since when did dogs care about feng shui? and 2) People who buy this book either buy it for a laugh (like me) or because they are nuttier then shirley maclaine. I would like to say this book was done in good humor...unfortunately the tone is serious...the author wants us dog owners to know that dogs want feng shui...after all, the owner's dog is the primary author in the first place. Duh! Well folks, I think all that Fido cares about is that he is loved and taken care of, not if the wind chimes are facing south and the mirror is facing north.

The Best Fengu Shui guide around.......2006-03-10

I have worked several times with a local (to me) Feng Shui Consultant - Sophia at www.168fengshui.com - and Larry Sang was her master teacher. She gave me the first copy of his book and I buy it every year now. The day to day section complete with "Don't do Important Things Today" and hints for each Chinese Sign, is invaluable. Every time I have entered into a contract or made some significant arrangements on an inauspicious day, something has come up to delay or increase the cost. This book is invaluable! My only suggestion - to Amazon.Com is to make sure you have sufficient copies available in January as that is the time one needs to order the book for the upcoming year.

Customer Reviews:

a weak book.......2007-01-14

The book teaches to cultivate some easily orchids found at especialized stores.
The photos need to have more ligth, many are dark; its a book indicated only for beginners.
It was not that waited.

Very nice reference.......2006-08-31

Frowine lists a multitude of orchids within this book that have been observed to be fragrant either through first hand knowledge or word of mouth. For many of the orchids, he lists some of the basics such as fragrance (i.e. what it smells like), distribution, and some cultivation information. The cultivation information isn't very detailed, but this is a book about fragrance and cultivation information can be found in other books and on the web. For me, the most useful section of the book is the appendices. There are 6 appendices and they are all great:

A) Orchids by Ease of Culture
B) Orchids by Light Requirements
C) Orchids by Nighttime Temperature Preference
D) Orchids by Intensity of Fragrance (my favorite, also describes the fragrance)
E) Orchids by Time of Fragrance
F) Orchids by Season of Bloom

A palette of fragrances.......2001-02-21

Rayford Clayton Reddell and Robert Galyean had a fine idea when they thought of this book: Growing Fragrant Plants. Reddell (owner of Garden Valley Ranch, a commercial flower ranch in the San Francisco area) and Galyean (head gardener of its fragrance garden) have devised a rich palette of fragrant plants.

They've assembled a marvelous list of fragrant trees and shrubs, vines and trailers, strongly scented roses, herbs, annuals, biennials and perennials, as well as bulbs, corms, rhizomes, tubers, ground covers, water plants, fragrant grasses and scented roots.

They tell how to distinguish between fragrances, predict the strength of a fragrance and separate scented flowers and leaves into fragrance groups based on the predominating chemical substance of their essential oils.

And of course they tell how to select fragrant plants, where to buy them, how to grow them, landscape with them and preserve them.

Book Description

Showcasing 22 beautiful homes in Provence and the Cote d'Azur, "Provencal Escapes" is an abundant source of inspiration and practical decorative ideas, making it a feast of delight for all those who are seduced by the thought - and the reality - of the Provencal way of life.

Customer Reviews:

Good but wanted more.......2007-07-16

A nice inspiration source for charming, rustic country french design. I wanted more out of the book though - perhaps photos of full rooms rather than vignettes of tables and kitchen counters. It makes it hard to get a sense of design style without a full room effect in my opinion. The book does ooze charm and if you have other books on this style and just want a little extra something this would be ok. If however you really need a good book to learn all about french country style I would not suggest this one.

STUNNING!.......2007-02-26

This book oozes with charm! The homes featured in this book are very old and beautifully brought back to life by its owners while respecting the history and integrity of these buildings. The title "Provencal Escapes" is appropriate since this book lets you escape into a dreamy and ancient world of Provence. The photos are gorgeous and you feel that you are actually walking through some of these homes. This book is a must for any fan of Provence or just of beautiful escapes. I highly recommend it!

Magnificant Redecoration of Older French Homes.......2005-10-12

This magnificant book consists of photographic studies of some 22 homes in the Provence and Cote d'Azur regions of France. These homes are primarily older (as much as 300 years) that have been seriously redecorated to make them into jewels of plesant styling.

For the most part, the redecoration of the homes has been to retain (or return to) the styling of the time they were built. Magnificant old beams show off well with modern appliances and decorations. The traditional outside of the houses hides the modern interiors. The original builders could not have imagined things we take for granted such as electricity that now has been fitted into their houses.

Redoing an old house is easily as expensive as modern construction, so these houses have not been done for cost savings but for other reasons like living in a part of history.

While this book concentrates on this region of France, many of the techniques used in these houses could well be applied to houses in the United States where old houses be they farm or city center can be made into something unique and wonderful.

INSPIRING!.......2006-01-03

Wow, what a gorgeous book. We look at it again and again for indoor and outdoor inspiration. You will be completely delighted by this book which captures golden light!

BEAUTIFUL PHOTOS...........2004-08-26

Pure and simple, for most of us PROVENÇAL HOUSE is a coffee table book filled with exquisite detail found in several dozen homes in the south of France. Author, Joanna Thornycroft, has classified the structures Andreas Von Einsiedel photographed into `Town', `Manor' or `Country' houses. Short on text and long on photos, the premise of this publication seems to be a picure is worth a thousand words. Beginning with houses in the French Rivera and ending with Le Murier in hameau das Auvis, the author takes you on a trip through the land painted by Van Gogh and Pagnol.

Some of the homes are "simple" cottages, others the more ornate domains of the landed gentry or super-rich movie star. My favorite shots were taken in gardens, and show flowers, pots and rustic gates across cobblestone walkways that lead to the lane or another room of the garden. Small details such as a decorative window latch covered with several centuries of paint, delft-like kitchen tiles, and a rooster weather vane, remind me of the land of the Cathars-those God-fearing people who lived in this land that once harbored them as heretics who may or may not have been far from God but who must have understood how blessed life can be when the sun shines.

Architects may get some ideas from the recessed windows, the red tiled roofs, the stucco blue walls, and the marble bathroom fixtures, but the fabric-lined antique china cabinets, and nifty little accent touches in the various rooms depicted so lovingly make this book a must for interior designers and others seeking the "look" of Provence.

great inspirational book.......2004-06-04

I can be critical of design and house books after seeing so many, so it's a relief to finally be able to give a book five stars. The photographs are authentic and detail everything from interior to exterior, including gardens. The essence of French provincal style is captured and distilled here. The writing is clever and concise, although you'll hardly notice it because the pictures are so brilliant. This is an essential book if you're trying to capture the French provencal look in house design or interior design. This book gives you an authentic source reference.

Beautiful Book!.......2004-03-04

I'm an architect with the task of designing a "French" style home. This is one of several books I ordered to use as references. The appeal of this book for me is that it includes exterior architecture, interior design/decor, & gardens/landscapes. It is extensively illustrated with color photos & captions (my kind of book...). I can't critique the text because I have not yet had time to read it. But I can't get enough of the pictures!

Breathtaking.......2003-10-30

I picked this book up from the table of new releases at a local bookstore, sat in a chair, and didn't move except to turn the pages for the next 90 minutes. In more than 200 color photographs, The Provencal House explores the beauty of 16 Provencal homes - interior and exterior details, uses of color playing off the landscape, curves and arches and doorways. It's a beautiful celebration of an architectural way of life rooted in the land and its traditions.
