Thank you so much for the wonderful review. I can honestly say that it is the best I've seen yet. As you've discovered, there's a lot to this book. In many ways, it's a compendium of everything I learned over the twenty years in which I worked as a residential architect in Minnesota, first on my own, and then with the firm that now goes by the name SALA Architects. <BR/><BR/>I learned so much during those years, and saw first hand the challenges people were up against as they tried to make their "not so lovely" house into a place that feels like home. Nowadays I'm in a position to be able to help connect homeowners, designers, architects, builders and remodelers around issues of common interest, and I'm hoping that this latest book will produce a groundswell of interest in making existing homes better for today's more informal lifestyles.<BR/><BR/>If any of your readers would like to know more about the book as well as learn more about the architects and designers whose work is represented there, they can go to www.notsobighouse.com and click on the "Go to the Not So Big Remodeling page". There's also a place where readers can share their projects with one another, so that we can all learn from each other as we collectively move to improve our existing housing stock.<BR/><BR/>Thanks again Paul. As you've probably guessed, there will be more "not so big" books coming, so I hope you'll stay tuned.<BR/><BR/>Warm regards,<BR/><BR/>SarahUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04696415524060015161noreply@blogger.com
