This book is 10 years old, and it's more relevant today than ever.
Sarah Susanka's philosophy is that quality is more important than quantity. She shows how space can be shared, how rooms can serve multiple purposes, and how nooks can serve better than rooms.
Large homes not only cost more to build, they cost more to furnish, more to clean, more in annual property taxes, and more in utility costs.
Not So Big House isn't a book about sacrifice - it's a book about enhancing, about enjoying a better quality of life in your home.
There's a recent 10th anniversary edition at Amazon with a revised chapter. Susanka has written several other books in the meantime, but I think the best of them was this original book.
It's all about living well. Design and details.
Now I just wish she'd write one about the Not So Big Office!
