A second gorgeous book from VW I'dratherbereading I loved the author's first book, "Learning to See" so much that I pre-ordered this book, and I was not disappointed! It makes a good companion to LTS; somewhat more inspirational, whereas LTS is somewhat more practical.With his extraordinary "eye", the author/photographer finds beauty -proportion, color, texture - around him and distills it into his absolutely amazing interiors. Although both his travels (to far-flung exotic lands) and interiors are high-end, the principles can be applied even if your travels are nearby and your budg. Disappointing My wife and I plan to remodel, and bought this book for inspiration and design concepts. We ended up quite disappointed.The book has 5 chapters organized around 5 places that Mr. Wolf traveled to. Each chapter consists of two parts: travel log and design.

It has energized my own approach to design with a much more sensitive eye for detail, and has inspired my very soul. His photos are beautiful. His sensitivity to culture and the "crossing of boundaries" in his travels has encouraged me to be more aware
These influences are incorporated into his own designs, sometimes directly–a collection of brightly colored woven caps that add personality to a Wyoming log cabin–and sometimes indirectly–a composition of gray-blues and gray-greens drawn from succulent plants in a dry riverbed.. He is also a photographer of note, capturing images of his own design work and of his travels. Wolf is an adventurous voyager, and he is captivated by how people express themselves: in the colors and patterns of clothing, the forms and features of architecture, and so on. Crossing Boundaries is a fascinating combination of the two, a spirited approach that pairs travel and design based on visits to Ethiopia, Myanmar, Syria, Madagascar, and Borneo.
