This is one of my favorite new books that we have coming out. Few design books or television shows give really practical advise for people on a budget and, most importantly, living in a small or interesting space. This book covers a whole range of topics, budgets, and styles, but the unifying theme is how to make the most of a smaller or strangely laid-out space. Just because I live in an apartment doesn't mean I don't have fantastic taste and want to live in style!
