Book Reviews of Living SMALL: The Life of Small Houses
Book Review: A wonderful book for anyone who owns or is buying a home!
Summary: 5 Stars
This book was recommended to me as I am in the process of looking for a new home for my family. I was a bit skeptical as my family is large enough where I can't really consider "Living Small". I bought the book against my better judgment. Let me say that this is the best book I have read in a very long time. It is so thoughtfully constructed and wonderfully illustrated that it is real joy to read! It has given me a real insight to how small homes developed over time and how some have evolved into today's larger homes. It has also given me basic information about how homes in general are constructed but more importantly, it has given me wonderful ideas about how one can "Live Small" in a larger home by utilizing the guiding principals used in constructing small homes as a foundation for renovating an existing home to make the best use of the space and keep our busy lives free flowing and organized. No small feat. Pardon the pun.
Mr. Fukai has given me plenty of food for thought and I can't wait to get his other books! I highly recommend this book to anyone who owns a home, is thinking about buying one, or just wants to organize their existing space and needs a little inspiration.
