FA: The House In My Head, Dorothy Rodgers, 1st Ed. HB/DJ

The House In My Head
Dorothy Rodgers

Dorothy Rodgers imagined her house through years of living in a gracious old
Connecticut colonial, observing what she liked about other people’s houses,
analyzing her own way of life, making notes on what she wanted someday in
terms of comfort, convenience and beauty -- the marvelous house she then
lived in and loved, the dream come true. This is the story of how that home
grew from germ of inspiration to glorious reality. Follow this fascinating
log of progress from the architect’s first pencil stroke to lighting the
final lamp. In keeping with the spirit of her contemporary home, Rodgers
offers in conclusion 36 menus and 78 recipes deigned for informal
entertaining. Lavishly illustrated with full-page photos, 13 in color.

cloth with brown background and gold decoration and lettering on front and
gold lettering on green background on spine, dust jacket, landscape plans on
