Where are the small spaces???, Jun 5 2009
By Erica R. - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Libby Langdon's Small Space Solutions: Secrets for Making Any Room Look Elegant and Feel Spacious on Any Budget (Paperback)
This is one of the "small spaces" books that angers me. I have this irrational anger with these books because these rooms are NOT small. If you have room to put a sofa and full sized bed in a bedroom it is NOT a small bedroom! If you can fit 2 night tables, tv stand and chair with ottoman in a room it's not small! Those are normal sized bedrooms. You can not put those things in a 10x10 bedroom and still walk around! I also think the decorating is very amateur, I feel most people could get their rooms to look like these (or better!) without the help of this book. I think it just had a cheap feel to it.

Great ideas that won't break the bank!, Jun 10 2009
By Molly Bloom - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Libby Langdon's Small Space Solutions: Secrets for Making Any Room Look Elegant and Feel Spacious on Any Budget (Paperback)
I live in a small apartment, and Libby Langdon's book has given me so many terrific ideas for giving my space more persoality. I have finally used paint to brighten up my boring white bathroom and living room and it has made a huge difference. I've also used fabric on a wall panel in my tiny dining area to cozy it up, and used floor to ceiling drapes in my bedroom to make it seem larger. This book is great because it gives such a wide variety of ideas, many of which don't cost a lot of money. It's all about knowing the "tricks of the trade," and Libby reveals all the great design secrets! Plus, she has a great personality, so you really enjoy reading the book.

Great concrete idea for very finished rooms, May 2 2009
By J. Stuart "Julie's apartment project" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Libby Langdon's Small Space Solutions: Secrets for Making Any Room Look Elegant and Feel Spacious on Any Budget (Paperback)
I have a dozen books I'm using in re-decorating my apartment and this is my favorite. Disclaimer, I'm more comfortable with solid colors and open spaces than prints and cozy full rooms and so is Libby Langdon. She has gotten me over my fear of paint and given me great ideas of what I do need to add and what I already have that I can re-purpose. Her ideas on color and color combining, and furniture placements were very helpful.
I have spent the last 20 years in various spaces under 700 sq feet, and Libby knows ALL the tricks and taught me a few new ones. Her asthetic leans towards the polished and sophisticated while keeping warmth and comfort. She shows both average apartment before and afters and full "show" home decorating. There is something for most everyone here.
Thank you Libby, I look forward to your next book.
