Best Educational Design & Home Improvement Books.

I’m going to link all of the book posts below: Whether you’re looking for millwork, architecture, or technical advice when it comes to renovating your home- all of these books cover some excellent topics and would be a great resource to add to your archive. I feel like I’ve shared lots of book roundups in the past year. These have tons of photos and diagrams that make learning these skills easy. While YouTube is an awesome and convenient resource, there is something about having a book that lies flat next to you while tackling a project (instead of having to hit rewind five times on a video). The old version is wonderful, but I would probably encourage you to buy the updated version, as it’s up-to-date and expanded- the aesthetic is certainly better. As for the last three books in the roundup, the home improvement guides… those were gifted to us by Emmett’s parents after we purchased our first home (awesome gift idea, by the way!). I bought my copy in design school and never bought the updated version. If you’re wondering why I linked the Field Guide to American Houses book twice… it’s because many of you messaged asking why I have the old copy and which edition is best.
