Product Description

A celebration of Tuscan farmhouse type, with practical guidance on how to bring the appear home.For any person who has ever dreamed of living underneath the Tuscan sun, Italian Rustic is the next very best thing—a step-by-stage guide to recreating the romance and appeal of the weathered Italian farmhouse. This nuts-and-bolts guidebook to developing Italian-type walks the reader by means of all the components that make the rustic Italian home so distinctive, from the hand-laid stone walls to the artisanal stucco wall finishes. Author Elizabeth Minchilli, an American style author primarily based in Rome and Tuscany, acquired dozens of inquiries from readers following publishing her final book, Artisan\'s Restoring a House in Italy. The queries went beyond the typical searches for material and couches. \"People had been hungry to know how terra-cotta tiles were laid, or how fireplaces had been created,\" she says. Italian Rustic, researched with the support of her Italian architect husband, is the consumer-friendly outcome: a guide that explains, in clear text accompanied by pictures and drawings, how to lay a tile floor a la Italiana, or include a Tuscan-style pergola to any garden. With more than 300 beautiful images shot on location in Tuscany and Umbria, the book consists of profiles of regional artisans, engaging text on how the farmhouse style evolved, and targeted guidance on how Americans can uncover Italian-style building resources and craftsmen near to home. This essential sourcebook will appeal to any person constructing an addition or an entire property from scratch, or for homeowners who want to include just a touch of Italian type to their houses.
