Bruce Weber - A house is not a home - Bulfinch 1996
As for the assertion of its title – this book of clearly illustrates how “home” comes from the life within, regardless of how grand the structure. Whether it’s Siegfried and Roy’s tiger-striped (and tiger-filled) Las Vegas suite or Georgia O’Keefe’s ghost ranch in New Mexico, Chris Isaak’s childhood home in suburban California or the Duchess of Devonshire’s stately home in England, Andrew Wyeth’s Maine lighthouse retreat or Neutra’s modernist dream in the California desert, these gorgeously appointed interiors can’t hope to contain the big lives and audacious spirits of their inhabitants. This is not simply a book of houses to gape over and wish for. It is not merely a study in fabulous taste. “A House is Not a Home” is an inspiration piece, a call to live a life that fills the room, that paints it vibrant, that makes it home.
