A guide on selecting a home style, site, and planning. Emphasizes proportion, trees, and lawn space, warns against building beyond means, and urges consulting an architect for plans, specifications, and budgets. Discusses Italian, Gothic English cottage, and Swiss styles and cautions about white exterior finishes.
The article argues for tasteful yet simple exterior decoration, favoring white facades with green surrounds or stone tones, warns against gaudy colors, and extols natural landscaping. It contrasts a stark white house with a modest brown cottage framed by trees and a thriving garden, urging care in enclosures, walks, flower beds, and fruit trees to create a home that embodies beauty and refinement. It stresses that a home reflects character, promotes virtue, and should be a personal paradise rather than a mere financial display.
