Finally, a book that takes the reader through the process, both in documentation and practical analysis, outlining what a client needs to consider using clear, concise language, suitable for those embarking on this journey alone or with a professional. Teresa Slye, ASID, LEED ap Director of the Interior Design Department Gallatin College Montana State University Sherrill and Rose capture the essence of thriving in small spaces. Guiding the designers process from discovering clients needs, helping ease the anxiety of letting go of possessions, to easing the trepidation of entertaining. Engagingly written and accompanied by photographic examples of real projects the book is a pleasure for the mind and the eye. Karen A. Libby, ASID, IIDA Libby Design Associates Berkeley, California
