The text focuses on various aspects of designing, planning, and building practical models of homes, particularly aimed at educating young people about the decorative arts. Emphasizing the importance of both utility and beauty in home decoration, the book aims to inspire creativity and craftsmanship in children and adolescents. At the start of the book, the author introduces a project undertaken by public school students in New England, who were given the challenge of designing and constructing a model house. Through this project, the students learned essential lessons about architectural planning, the significance of artistic surroundings, and effective space utilization. Warner outlines the collaborative effort between boys and girls in creating this home, highlighting their individual contributions in both design and craftsmanship while advocating for the integration of artistic expression into practical applications. This opening serves as a foundation for exploring the various themes in home decoration that the book will elaborate on in subsequent chapters.
