{"product_id":"9781423608950","title":"Atomic Ranch: Design Ideas for Stylish Ranch Homes","description":"Atomic Ranch is an in-depth exploration of post-World War II residential architecture in America. Mid-century ranches (1946-1970) range from the decidedly modern gable-roofed Joseph Eichler tracts in the San Francisco Bay area and butterfly wing houses in Palm Springs, Florida, to the unassuming brick or stucco L-shaped ranches and split-levels so common throughout the United States. Authors Michelle Gringeri-Brown and Jim Brown, founders and publishers of the popular quarterly Atomic Ranch magazine, extol the virtues of the tract, split-level, rambler home and its many unique qualities: private front facades, open floor plans, secluded bedroom wings, walls of glass, and an easy-living lifestyle. From updated homes with high-end Italian kitchens, terrazzo floors, and modern furniture to affordable homeowner renovations with eclectic thrift-store furnishings, Atomic Ranch presents twenty-five homes showcasing inspiring examples of stylish living through beautiful color photographs, including before and after shots, design-tip sidebars, and a thorough resource index.Atomic Ranch reveals:\u003cul\u003e    \u003cli\u003eHallmarks of the ranch style\u003c\/li\u003e    \u003cli\u003eInspiring original ranch homes\u003c\/li\u003e    \u003cli\u003eRanch house transformations and makeovers\u003c\/li\u003e    \u003cli\u003ePreservation of mid-century neighborhoods\u003c\/li\u003e    \u003cli\u003eAdding personality to a ranch home\u003c\/li\u003e    \u003cli\u003eYards and landscaping\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003ePlus, a helpful resource section and index!","brand":"Smith, Gibbs Publisher","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47154029166832,"sku":"9781423608950","price":17.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781423608950","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
