Thorough coverage of Craftsman idea in text and picture,-Gustav Stickley, who published The Craftsman magazine and sold house designs, was one of the strongest proponents of this philosophy of simplicity. In Stickley's own words, Craftsman Home plans were designed "to substitute the luxury of taste for the luxury of costliness; to teach that beauty does not imply elaboration or ornament; to employ only those forms and materials which make for simplicity, individuality& dignity of effect." Craftsman Homes is Stickley's own compilation of the best of these designs. Plans for more than 40 cottages, cabins, and bungalows-complete with illustrated interior layouts and decorating ideas, as well as suggestions for garden and outdoor treatments. All incorporate a sense of space and openness to rooms, and feature bold, rustic styling based on regional building traditions such as colonial log cabins or Spanish missions of the Southwest. Relying on nature – local materials, – integrating traditional craft techniques,Homes still look as fresh, modern, and ultimately livable today as they did when they were built in the early twentieth century.
