Editorials

Library Journal

Since cabins are no longer primitive one- or two-room houses, the Schmidts a husband-and-wife team who have written about and photographed hundreds of log-and timber-framed cabins define cabin style as an informal lifestyle and decorating approach. They depict lavish kitchens and baths decorated to replicate a rustic style, with expert advice on a variety of topics provided in sidebars. Lighting, flooring, fabric, and decorative accessories useful for any style kitchen or bath are also covered, but the "knotty pine" look of these interiors might discourage those interested in other styles. Three-quarters of the book is dedicated to the kitchen, concluding with bath design and a list of resources. Purchase where there is interest in rustic or cabin decor.
