Beautiful pictures

I am a Aging In Place Specialist and have bought many books on the subject....this one by far has the most beautiful pictures with very upscale homes. However, this is not as practical as some of the others. Depending on what you are looking for this is a beautiful book.

High access home IDEAS . . .

Okay, so this book doesn't contain much in the way of product identification or info on how to buy anything. Still, if -- like us -- you are in the process of designing a home in which you expect to live for the rest of your life, what this book does do, and do well, is prove that accessible design CAN be beautiful (and "no," it isn't necessary to spend a fortune to implement most of the ideas in this book). This book is like any other interior design book -- the ideas are illustrated with high-end products. But once you "get" what needs to be modified for an accessible home, most of the ideas can be incorporated into standard construction. We found this book both enjoyable and helpful.
