Average Customer Ratings:
Here, in one book, is a careful study of all the elements that make a timberframe home both a lifestyle and a work of art. Every construction method is covered, from prefabricated, manufactured kits to “one-off” frames hand-hewn by independent craftsmen using traditional methods. Topics include everything from checking out kits to choosing materials for the roof to transforming old barns into homes.
Attention is also given to interior elements of construction and design, as well as to products and decor that are especially suited to the rugged beauty of the timberframe home. There are chapters on outfitting the kitchen, managing traffic patterns between rooms, selecting furniture to complement the wide-open spaces of the timberframe home, and even choosing lighting fixtures.
From first inspiration to final touches, The Timberframe Way is the complete introduction to the art of the timberframe home.

2003's Most Beautiful Home Living Book -
The cozy timberframe home - also known as post-and-beam - is the one home design style that probably elicits more `longing for' than any other. Unfortunately, with cookie-cutter suburban developments plopping `bloated toad' houses on barren lots, not too many of us can escape to our lodge-like home. But we can sure lose ourselves in the dreams of owning one - or designing and building one. Now, good friend of our LivingHome.com site, Michael Morris, and Dick Pirozzolo, have produced with The Lyons Press 2003's most beautiful home living book, The Timberframe Way. This holiday we can't wait to sit around the fireplace in our way-more-ugly home than those pictured in the book and drool over every picture.
