Best-selling author Sheri Koones presents the hottest trend in the housing market. The 25 small houses presented in Downsize are owned by people who have made a conscious decision to downsize from a larger home to a smaller home--or who just decided to build small in the first place. Some of the houses are new (site-built or prefab), others are remodels. All are 2,000 sq. ft. or less. The featured houses show how to use space efficiently through such strategies as:
- creative storage space
- multi-purpose rooms
- pocket and barn doors
- integrating smaller appliances
These exceptional houses show how small can be comfortable, practical, energy efficient--and beautiful.
