A guide, with floor plans ranging from a small casita to larger ones is given in this book, with several pluses.

Plastering, the making of adobes, painting, plumbing, wiring--all the things that must be taken into account are dealt with in a practical manner that helps prevent costly errors.
French Country at Home:
Whether you go wall-to-wall or simply select a few mood-setting accents, this exquisitely photographed idea book will inspire the French country designer within. Pull together a bedroom with a jaunty Provencal fabric, furnish the dining area with handsomely carved antique pieces, or warm up a sterile space with charmingly rugged architectural details. Use decorative touches from wrought iron fixtures to rich color schemes, to infuse every type of room--living room, kitchen, bath, even the patio-with earthy, romantic appeal. Charming details help keep the country feel and capture the quaint, rustic flavor of traditional French rural life, even in the most modern American home. The result: a look that's elegant yet succeeds in staying cozy and comfortable, too.

Just One Taste...
Nothing tastes sweeter than forbidden fruit. And Lucas Broussard has "forbidden" written all over him. From the top of his dark head on down, his designer suits cover the heart of a rebel -- and lots of secrets. Socialite dropout Vanessa Douglas should know, because she's got a kindred spirit.
Despite how alluring he is, Vanessa really must resist. After all, her fledgling catering business depends on being welcomed back into the family fold...and their endless fund-raisers and formal dinners. It's an entrepreneur's dream, even though toeing the social line is a tad, uh, "restrictive."
Still, a single night with Lucas won't be her downfall, will it? Surely she could indulge just this once, then return to playing good girl in the morning. Too bad once is not enough with this man. And even more devastating than his bedroom charm are the secrets he's about to reveal....

Nothing Ordinary Here: Statius as Creator of Distinction in the Silvae
Through a combined methodology of philology, social theory and archaeology, this book offers a reinterpretation of Statius's "Silvae."
A special feature is the book's catalogue of material wealth, an examination that for the first time itemizes valuable material objects that appear in the "Silvae" (eg., furniture, mosaics, aromatics) and evaluates their literary and cultural significance. By mapping the social landscape of various individuals and illuminating the cultural values associated with different types of material and non-material wealth through which widely disparate Romans sought personal distinction and status, the book makes a significant contribution not only to "Silvae" scholarship, but also to studies on Domitianic culture as a whole.
