Raves and Reviews
“Journalist Koones (Downsize) demonstrates that limited space doesn’t mean compromised style in this captivating study of small houses. Stunning color photos are a plus. This luxurious volume will provide endless inspiration to space-efficient and green homeowners.”
– Publishers Weekly
“I think the pandemic has made us all take stock of what’s important in our lives. It’s not keeping up with the Joneses or showing off the latest design excess. It’s not holding onto stuff that no longer has a use in our lives. It’s living simply and authentically. This book fits that niche perfectly.”
– Jamie Gold, CKD, CAPS, MCCWC
“… what we have is a collection of extremely livable, modestly-sized, well-designed homes that are presented with lots of detail and great photography. There is a lot to learn from Koones and her new book.”
– Lloyd Alter, Treehugger
“Whether you’re thinking buying, building or renovating a smaller home, Sheri will inspire you with a dazzling range of ideas and options for your next living space.”
