Announcing our latest book giveaway: Leslie Williamson’ Handcrafted Modern: At Home with Mid-century Designers
We love that the photos show the homes exactly as they were when the designers lived there, as with the image of Walter Gropius’ desk. You get to experience the personal touches that actually make a home feel like a home. Williamson set out to shoot the homes not only as examples of modernist design, but also to capture how these designers crafted homes that were meant to be lived in. Her exploration into the nexus of art and function, and forgoing design perfection in the name of a livable space is one that is close to our hearts.

As far as I can tell your facebook page link is not working properly. I’m having trouble linking through to it.
thanks!
Thanks for alerting us. We fixed it twice today and are wondering if there might be some sort of wire-crossing that occurs after-the-fact. It’s working now, but just in case problems recur, we’ve given the address as well.
Thank you!
I would like to be entered for the Handcraft Modern book….when I clicked on the area in red….I got an error reading.
I would love to be entered to win this book…however I can’t see how to do it? Can I just leave a comment? If that’s all, then here’s my comment! Thanks, M2
