I checked out her book, “The Not So Big House” several years ago from the library and it, as well as her other books are chock full of ways of making the avg 1500-1800 sf Craftman-style home work for a family, using the built-ins available, plus her own extra built-ins, in unlikely places, for storage. The photography in all her books is “bar none.”
Quality over quantity, Piggs and location, location, location! This benefit can best be gleaned from a house with 1930’s architecture and “good bones.”
Oh, yeah, the bulk of you have appeared to have fled urban living . . . :=[
Well, it’s a fantastic read anyway, and you might learn something!!
