New Ideas books from the Guild of Master Craftsmen

The Guild of Master Craftsmen are bringing out two books in August designed to give you new ideas for your outdoor living space. The ‘Stonescaping Idea Book' by Andrew Wormer and 'The Outdoor Living Idea Book' by Lee Anne White, were originally first published in America and are now available in the UK.

Outdoor Living Idea BookLee Anne White's 'Outdoor Living Idea Book' is packed full of trends in the creation of your outdoor space. The focus is on helping you create an outdoor living area that makes the most of your property and makes it fun to spend time outdoors at home. Chapters cover Cooking and Dining; Entertaining outdoors; Relaxing and escaping; Décor and Outdoor recreation. The layout is simle and easy on the eye and there are excellent illustrations with just simply lots of ideas.

Stonescaping Idea BookAndrew Wormer's 'Stonescaping Idea Book' brings you all sorts of ideas for using stone in your garden. Along with tried and tested designs for inviting walkways and walls, there are plenty of new ways of using stone in gardens and patio spaces. There are ideas for streams, waterfalls and even simple fountains. The book also deals with sculpture in the garden, terraces, patios and garden spaces and gives ideas for finishing touches such as driveways and the entry area of your home.

The illustrations in the books are essentially American, however, I found this added another dimension to the ideas suggested and will certainly give you a slightly different perspective.
