Review
More and more, baby boomers face the prospect of trading in their large homes for smaller accommodations. Seldon, host of the TV series Design for Living, addresses this issue in a book loaded with color photographs depicting every room of the home, including outdoor spaces. Captions point out the design tricks used to maximize each small space. --Library Journal, September 15, 2007
Product Description
All over the world, consumers are discovering the merits of the small space lifestyle, abandoning the work and burdensome expense that goes with living in a "McMansion" in favor of the elegance and practicality of living in cozier spaces. From young homeowners who have rediscovered the joys of loft-style homes in the city , to empty-nesters who prefer smaller, more manageable living spaces, millions of homeowners have migrated to the "not-so-big" style of living.
500 Ideas for Small Spaces is a practical guide featuring 500 real-life remodeling, organizing, and decorating tips for making a truly small home look and function better. Today, living in a small home isn't a compromise, it is the preferred choice for growing numbers of homeowners.

Great book!,

This review is from: 500 Ideas for Small Spaces: Easy Solutions for Living in 1000 Square Feet or Less (Paperback)
I thought this book was great. I loved how the author broke everything down in a simple and succinct fashion, while still maintaining the value of what she was saying. There were pictures for some of her ideas, and these pictures reinforced what she was trying to say. I would have liked a picture for each idea, but, still...a great book! I've gone through mine so often, it now has dog ears.

Lots of Ideas,
By Suzee "Moving to Manhattan" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: 500 Ideas for Small Spaces: Easy Solutions for Living in 1000 Square Feet or Less (Paperback)
I'm moving from a 2500 sq ft home in the 'burbs to what I hope to be a 750 sq ft apt in Manhattan. I have not found a better book to give me ideas of how to organize my space in such a way that my husband and I feel like we are in a home rather than an apartment that feels like a college dorm room. This is a good book. Lots of pictures and lots of locales - not all in the US which I found interesting.

nice pictures and ideas,
By Olive Twist "Olive" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: 500 Ideas for Small Spaces: Easy Solutions for Living in 1000 Square Feet or Less (Paperback)
I liked the pictures in the book and used them even more than I read the list of ideas that fill the book. I found that you do not have to create the exact same room they have in there, you can use the same principles and different items to create a more individual look. However, I think that most of the rooms shown here are not that small, making the book more applicable living in a small house or most regular size apartments. If you live in a studio for example,you may need to use some other references.

Not quite what I thought...,
By Jillionaire "gauche fraulein" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: 500 Ideas for Small Spaces: Easy Solutions for Living in 1000 Square Feet or Less (Paperback)
I was mislead by the subtitle of "easy solutions for living in 1000 sq feet or less". The ideas in it are great, but the most of the pictures don't really relay the message of "small space". You don't really get a whole room view. I was looking for something geared more towards small apartment living. Overall, the book has some good ideas, but nothing that hasn't been done before. Recommend you check the local library before purchasing.
