Shop Drawings for Craftsman Interiors: Cabinets, Moldings and Built-ins for Every Room in the Home

I love this book. Few books offer these kind of detailed drawings that have all the various measurements needed to re-create this style in your own home. You can use it for trim, built-ins, faux-architectural beams and more. I really appreciate that the drawings are as detailed as needed but no more - they don't distract with color or fancy designs, etc.

Excellent book! The content of this book is far beyond its title. It covers some important aspects of architecture design. It describes relation between architecture space and its structure. It reveals the essence of design which is based on its construction and material. This book also provide rich analysis of available tree species. The author is an authentic Architect, This book is another MUST for all architecture student or architects.

We own a home built in the Craftsman era, and are currently remodeling / restoring it. I have bought several books about home rehab, Craftsman furniture, etc., and was disappointed with every one of them. Then I purchased this book. The level of detail regarding moldings, for example, is incredible. The complete set of dimensions including radius data for the cove are included. Not only are all the major variants of Craftsman design illustrated and specified, the original drawings for cabinets are shown and then separate, updated drawings that conform to modern kitchen design standards are presented. Anyone who is interested in the architectural details of the Craftsman era should own this book. It is a MUST HAVE!

The era is very interesting, too bad there isn't more of this now. I have to admit tho that i was inspired at an early age to the wonderment of the carpenters that built these homes. An old house built well is what i was lucky enough to grow up within, and to continue that tradition with restoration of that home is where this book comes in. However, although this traditional style was not entirely reflected in our home, this book does offer insight into the history of the style. It was a remarkable era.

Nice book of classic Craftsman interior designs and trim work.
