Description
Readers simply cannot get enough of Sarah Susanka. Homeowners are certain to embrace this new collection of articles by the best-selling author and visionary residential architect who sparked a movement toward "better, not bigger" homes. Practical solutions abound in this creative reference - everything from how to use color and unify an interior with trim to finding space for an "away room" and designing a laundry room that works. Susanka poses - and clearly answers - such questions as "How much space do you really need?" and "Where does the garage belong?" Written in her engaging conversational style and illustrated with her own inviting sketches, this collection of attainable home improvements is a valuable addition to any smart and thoughtful homeowner's library.
Sarah Susanka is known far and wide as the leader of a movement that has redefined the American home. She has shared her insights in many best-selling books, including The Not So Big House, the revolutionary title that started it all. Susanka has been invited to share her insights on The Oprah Winfrey Show, Charlie Rose, and HGTV; she is regularly profiled in leading shelter magazines and newspapers, including The New York Times and The Wall Street Journal.

Your house may have more space than you think it does. It's true. You probably have dead space lurking in the corners of your living room, dining room, even your kitchen. Flip through "Not So Big Solutions for Your House" and you will see.--Milwaukee Journal Sentinel
"Not So Big Solutions for Your Home" is the third book by nationally acclaimed architect-turned-author Sarah Susanka. Although primarily aimed at consumers, the book offers practical design ideas for builders and designers pursuing the "build richer, not bigger" ideal popularized by Susanka's books -- and sought after by many home buyers.--Professional Builder
Dubbed "America's Favorite Home Architect" by Fine Homebuilding magazine, where her "Drawing Board" column appears, Susanka here presents a small compilation of 31 essays from the column that offer a number of solutions to household design problems both big and small.
