An exquisite look at beautiful outdoor sanctuaries throughout the state, this coffee-table book features inspired designs spanning the complete spectrum of styles, from comfortably traditional to strikingly contemporary. Beyond the vivid color photographs, this detailed exploration also includes interesting captions, delightful design anecdotes, and personal introductions to Texas-based design experts—architects, landscape architects, native-plant experts, interior designers, builders, stone and tile experts, pool designers, outdoor-kitchen specialists, and more. Eloquently demonstrating myriad ways in which outdoor living spaces in Texas can be enjoyed year-round, this meticulously curated collection is appropriate for homeowners, home seekers, and anyone else seeking design inspiration, ideas, recommendations, and resources.
“Carpenter and her editors have outdone themselves with this book, and the examples held within represent the best of bedroom and bath design available to Texans . . . these spaces are put together with the absolute control of a master craftsman or woman. The book that houses them is equally confident; the photography, design and even writing . . . are the best they can be. Homeowners with a critical eye will find a lot to pore over and will probably see one or two things that are totally new to them.” —Texas Home & Living, on Beautiful Bedrooms and Baths of Texas
