Details: Review “Journalist Koones (Downsize) demonstrates that limited space doesn’t mean compromised style in this captivating study of small houses. Stunning color photos are a plus. This luxurious volume will provide endless inspiration to space-efficient and green homeowners.” ― Publishers Weekly Published On: 2021-11-15“I think the pandemic has made us all take stock of what’s important in our lives. It’s not keeping up with the Joneses or showing off the latest design excess. It’s not holding onto stuff that no longer has a use in our lives. It’s living simply and authentically. This book fits that niche perfectly.” -- Jamie Gold, CKD, CAPS, MCCWC Published On: 2022-04-18“… what we have is a collection of extremely livable, modestly-sized, well-designed homes that are presented with lots of detail and great photography.
