Making Room: Finding Space in Unexpected Places by Wendy Adler Jordan

You don't have to embark on a monumental addition or drastically remodel your home to have a place for the activities your family enjoys and all the high-tech equipment and various belongings that modern life requires. Making Room shows that there is another option, one that is easier, faster, and much less expensive. By making the most of every inch of unused or underused space you already have, you can make a dramatic difference in the function and livability of your home. Many of the ideas on these pages came from individuals, designers, and architects who devised clever ways to capture slivers of space and use them more efficiently.

With Making Room, you'll learn how to identify good spots for built-ins and space-conserving structures that add value and interest to a room. You'll discover innovative ideas for transforming niches, closets, and hitherto hidden spaces into functional, personality-filled places. And you'll pick up practical information to use in implementing these ideas.
