Customer Reviews

One of the best

I agree with previous posters. For the money and the small size of this book, it's a great value. The same few pieces are used over and over again, but that proves how well they work. This one is a keeper.

Small Spaces

I got several good ideas from the book that will work well in my "small spaces". The book has really nice, high quality pictures. I would recommend the book to anyone trying to get a better fit in a small space.

Small book, but chock full of great ideas.

This book has many great ideas for each room of the home and includes large, clear, color photos showing those ideas at work. Rooms that are often overlooked in organizing books, such as craft rooms, nursery, and even the garage, are given attention here. Some of the items for small spaces that the authors recommend are easily purchased, such as the multi-purpose storage cubes that are shown in different configurations for widely-varying uses in several different rooms. The book's resources section tells you exactly where to purchase these items. Some items, such as the futon that doubles as a guest bed for a dorm room, come with instructions for making it yourself (not as difficult as you'd think...even a beginner could do it). This book looks at using oft-missed nooks and crannies in small apartments and houses, but also looks at how to make the most of multi-purpose rooms and single-room living, such as dorm rooms and studio apartments. While this book is only 96 pages, it comtains more USABLE information than most books on this subject. The ideas are down-to-earth, practical, and affordable. The rooms these ideas are shown working in--although absolutely beautiful--look like places people actually live in with all of their "stuff" rather than fancy show rooms that contain nothing but furniture and decorative items.
