California Revival showcases a new movement, an indoor-outdoor design trend that uses vintage furnishings, art pottery, tile, paintings and decorative arts from California’s golden era, the Spanish Revival period of the 1920s and 1940s, in today’s homes. The authors take you inside ten “real” homes, and share secrets from scores more, including top collections in the state, showing you how to achieve this enlivening and color-saturated style. The book contains over 550 color images with detailed captions and an engaging text. Historic Malibu Pottery, Catalina Island Pottery and Tile, Bauer Pottery, Taylor Tiles, Monterey furniture, San Jose Workshop murals from Texas, ironwork, paintings, textiles, and more are featured, many for the first time ever. It’s a friendly and individualized style that can be adjusted to suit your personality and tastes whether your architecture is Ranch or Mexicana, Spanish Revival or Modern, Cabin or Lodge style, Mission or European. You will see why this unique and original California vernacular décor is on the cutting edge with leading interior designers, museums, and collectors across the country. Visit California Revival Decor
