Average rating:  |
| Excellent photos of the extraordinary taken by New Yorkers |
| I purchased the book because I'm planning on either buying or building a retirement home in the SouthWest - preferrably an adobe. I've looked through the book many times for ideas. The photos are excellent and the book is well written. The text provides a good sense of who the owners are. Unfortunately, little of the contents of the homes are anything which I've "envisioned" for myself. New Mexico represents much more to me than the luxory and expensive furnishings on the pages. Perhaps if the book had been done by someone born in the land of enchantment it would have more value to me. Overall, a very nice book for the coffee table, for a while. |

 | Inside details on southwestern homes |
| This book is filled with idea inspiring photos of southwestern adobe homes. The rich descriptions combined with the photos have given me many decorating ideas for my own home. If you love southwest and adobe style as I do, you'll love this book. |

 | Accent on Individuality |
| Lovely looking book features plenty of gorgeous photos of Santa Fe & Taos gardens BUT I was hard-pressed to find a prototypical southwest garden in the lot. Therefore, I suppose this would be most useful to the person who wants ideas for something atypical in the region. (Or just the thing for the person who's seen the usual sunflower, skull, and terra cotta styling and is dying to see some new twists on the Santa Fe look). There's some extreme modernity in here, bold color choices, and very individualist gardens. So although it was not what I wanted, it is indeed a collection of hidden, off-the-beaten-track Santa Fe gardens. |
