Tia B: This man can do it all, decorate, design, garden, cook, rebuild. Unbelievably inspiring. Keep what you own, get this book, and see what you can achieve with your treasures. I'll be digging up a bunch of my blue hydrangea and potting them up along my walkway that leads to the front door. This book was worth it, just to see that. You will not be disappointed.

Gregory B. Mowery: I purchased this splendid book a few years ago on the advice of a good friend. With an extensive library of books, this is the one I pull down from the shelves over and over again. ONE MAN'S FOLLY is a book to sigh over as you turn the pages and explore the stunning homes, structures, and gardens of Furlow Gatewood's estate in Americus, Georgia. If you love beautifully composed, originally styled rooms stuffed with an eclectic mix of antiques, beautifully painted, with unique architectural touches, than this is the perfect book for you. Among the things that stood out for me, includ the jaw-dropping estate entrance with large, blue, and purple hydrangeas in huge, magnificent terra cotta pots that frame the driveway.

Keefer: Four houses, fourteen acres and forty peacocks, along with a sweet menagerie of cats and dogs, gardens, and outbuildings (including a peacock hospital) compose Furlow Gatewood's compound in Americus, Georgia. Furlow bought his first antique treasures, milk glass chickens, from his paper route earnings eight decades ago and hasn't stopped collecting since. This book features the splendor of his collections. His homes have been built to house his treasures including antique furniture, salvaged doors, mantels, windows and shutters. Furlow's four "follies" which we visually tour in this book include:

* The Barn or Carriage House ~ on the property initially and first renovated by Furlow beginning in 1950 when he was home from NYC visiting his mother, and foraging for antiques, and noted her carriage house was disintegrating. Original layout was a large center room with two wings. Furlow added porches, bedrooms and a dining room. This is Furlow's home base where he sleeps and dines with a view of dogs and peacocks.

* The Peacock House ~ started out as a house built around a fabulous door with Gothic window Furlow had found. So, obviously to accompany the door, you need a...
