終歸於家：新美國住宅的永恆設計

The photography alone makes this worth the price—I've gone back through the dining room and entry hall spreads more times than I can count. What I appreciate most is how the book focuses on enduring design choices rather than chasing trends, which is exactly what I needed while planning our own reno

I bought this after seeing the stair halls chapter mentioned somewhere, and the whole thing exceeded that one section. The photography of the entryways and the way the book walks through sense of place in each house is what kept me turning pages slowly.

The photos of the entry halls and stair details are worth it alone, and the floor plans actually helped me rethink our own awkward foyer. Schafer's writing on getting proportions right made me see our old house differently.
