Small Footprint, Big Lifestyle submitted by Sailornicole on July 27, 2013, 4:03pm Susanka's "Not So Big" series is a great resource for helping to make your "small" home in square footage feel more spacious, comfortable, and usable while keeping a small footprint. These homes are full of great craftsman-like details.

Fit for a coffee table submitted by thesrays on August 14, 2018, 9:47pm While this book's images make it "coffee table" ready, the author gives great insight into how to decrease a home's footprint, while actually increasing its usable space. Just don't assume that a "not so big house" is an inexpensive house....in my experience, the cost per square foot is much greater.

Alright submitted by avrogers1 on June 20, 2019, 12:02pm This was just alright. I liked the message the author was putting out there and I really enjoyed looking at the photos. It a full of great ideas, not as many directions as I would have hoped, but that worked out fine, because most of the ideas in this book weren't super realistic for everyone.

Not Quite What I Was Hoping For submitted by majean on August 2, 2020, 9:47pm I enjoy architecture and interior design, so I did like this video, but I give it 3 stars because I was hoping for more help on my own small home. I did get some inspiration, just not a lot of useful info for me.
