Bamboo Style
About this book
Bamboo isn't just for Asia anymore! Author Gale Goldberg shows us how to creatively bring bamboo home, teaching us how to live with it indoors and outdoors--even how to grow your own bamboo. Every room in your home can be decorated or accented with beautful, sensual bamboo furniture, flooring, wall covering, ceiling material and accessories. Bamboo is highly versatile, requiring little care yet having a visual appeal that can change a mundane setting into an exotic oasis. The resource directory includes connections to designers, manufacturers, artists, suppliers and bamboo organizations. For do-it-yourselfers, the bamboo projects in this book--from a simple ladle to a more complex pergola for the garden--will inspire you to create other designs of your own.
