Forget using the front door or eating dinner in the dining room.Today, we live in a casual, no-tie-required fashion where we wearjeans to work, put our feet up on the coffee table, and entertain inthe kitchen. We no longer sit down to a formal dinner, but ratherfire up the barbecue on the back patio. Our lives have becomeincreasingly informal, and now our homes are following suit.
The 24 houses featured in The Barefoot Home reflect today'sbarefoot times. From a long, low house on the Kansas prairie toan adobe home in New Mexico and a New England cottage by thesea, these homes capture the essence of barefoot living.
Relaxed, open, filled with light, and intimately connected to theoutdoors, barefoot houses make living at home feel like being onvacation 365 days a year.
