| Colonial homes are part of our national heritage, dotting the landscape from New England to the Pacific Northwest. While the Colonial is the quintessential American home, it isn't always suited to the way we live today—the floor plan may be too confining, the kitchen too small, and the storage space nonexistent.
That's where Taunton's latest addition to the Updating Classic America series comes in. Colonials is filled with design ideas and inspiration for renovating, remodeling, and building this classic American house type. From modest remodels to major overhauls to building new, Colonials offers innovative and tasteful design solutions for a variety of budgets. Featuring over 20 homes selected by architect Matthew Schoenherr, Colonials is richly illustrated with inspiring original photography as well as before-and-after floor plans. Colonials also provides you with a history and overview of the form and an illustrated glossary of typical design elements.
