About the book {from the publishers site}
Artists' Handmade Houses
is a collection of 13 homes handcrafted by the finest artists and
craftsmen in America, including George Nakashima, Henry Varnum Poor, Sam
Maloof, Wharton Esherick, and Russel Wright. Built over the course of
75 years, from the late-19th century to the mid-20th century, these
homes were each designed and built by the artists as an expression of
their aesthetic sentiments, and in many cases, as extensions of their
artwork. As such, these private domains are utterly unique and deeply
imbued with each artist's singular vision and talent. A few of the homes
have been awarded National Historic Landmark status, and several are
open to the public, while still others have sadly fallen into disrepair
or are now in the hands of new owners. In a few cases, the photographs
in this book represent the last record of the house as created by its
artist resident.

This sounds like a must have book. I absolutely adore any house that bring nature inside. The tree in the dining room is insanely cool!
