I am building our furniture in the arts and craft or mission design. I would also like to decorate my house this way. Pictures, trim, etc. Where can I find some designs or pictures of this era.

I'm not a huge fan of arts & crafts (*gasp*), but take a look for a book on Greene and Greene which includes both architecture and furniture. As I recall, the book includes a number of interior photographs from the era.

Here's a good site:

Try a Google image search for "mission furniture", "arts crafts furniture", "Stckley", etc. You can see a lot of examples quickly this way.
Many, many books are out there, too. Take a trip to the local library: it's not as easy as a Google search, but you'll find plenty of inspiration.
Hi handy ,
Go to a nice book store and go directly to the architecture isle look for Frank Lloyd Wright's books as well as Greene & Greene as has been mentioned .

Buy a copy of "American Bungalow" magazine and read the advertisements. It is a treasure trove of beautiful images of furniture and decorative arts. Good luck.
Tom.
