Shell Chic: The Ultimate Guide to Decorating Your Home With Seashells by Marlene Hurley Marshall, ISBN 158017440X
Lucky Sea Bean, Purple Unicorn, Pink Scallop Moon, Crab's Eyes, Yellow Landsnail, Pearly Nautilus -- splendid names for natural works of art that have captured the imaginations of artists, architects, society collectors, and beach worshipers for centuries. In 18th-century England, shell mania knew no limits. Country estates were outfitted with grottoes, where every surface was covered with intricate layers and patterns of shells. Later, throughout much of the 19th century, shell-encrusted furniture was displayed in upper-class homes, and sailors' valentines were brought from Barbados to waiting sweethearts. In the 20th century, Frank Lloyd Wright was greatly influenced by a univalve design while working on plans for the Guggenheim Museum. "Certainly, " said Wright, "Divinity is manifest here in these shells in their humble form of life, such greatness with such simplicity."

Shock of the Old: Christopher Dresser's Design Revolution
Christopher Dresser (18341904) was the first industrial designer of the modern era. A true radical, he favored form over ornament, and his stylish, spare, and astonishingly modern designs contrast sharply with the highly ornate work of his Victorian contemporaries. Believing that good design could be popularized through industry, Dresser worked with more than 50 manufacturers to produce an enormous variety of reasonably priced, widely available consumer products. This book is published to accompany the first comprehensive exhibition devoted to his career.
More than 300 superb color photographs reveal Dresser's highly innovative ceramics, cast-iron garden furniture, and stark, geometric silverplate tableware, as well as previously unattributed designs for textiles, wallpaper, and glass. With essays based on the latest research, this stunning volume brings Dresser the attention he deserves.

Santa Fe Houses by Christine Mather, ISBN 0609606476
Santa Fe-style decorating is a coast-to-coast trend. Hundreds of thousands have scoured Christine Mather's previous books, eager to incorporate Santa Fe design elements into their own homes. Now, in Santa Fe Houses, Mather combines concrete and practical home-decorating suggestions with the beautiful photographs of her longtime collaborator, Jack Parsons, creating an invaluable guide for anyone interested in building, decorating, or remodeling a home in Santa Fe style.
Santa Fe Houses draws inspiration from the four traditional Native American elements--fire, earth, water, and air--and shows how they can be used to wonderful effect in kitchens and dining rooms, entry-ways and living rooms, bedrooms, bathrooms, porches, and patios. Along the way, Mather showcases furniture, rugs, lighting, hardware, tiles, shutters, and other expressions of the Santa Fe look, and ends with a comprehensive directory of sources.
