A lot of the examples given in this book don't apply or do not easily apply but it does give some very good ideas. It sparks a lot of "What if" situations. This book was very good for getting ideas and sparking new ideas.

This has a lot of great material - both ideas for how to use space and how to build the things they describe. I've found this one of the better For Pros by Pros books in terms of completeness of the "how to" part and useful new ideas.

I have some background in carpentry and was looking for a book to give me great ideas for a fireplace surround that I want to build. After much searching, I found this book and decided to give it a try. I am so glad that I did. This book is thorough and informative. I love that the pros give hints based on their experience. They write so anyone can understand it and yet even seasoned builders will find info they can use. There are many pictures of finished projects along with well written instructions and great 'how to' pictures. I can't think of anything that is missing in this book. I am now designing the bookcase surround for my fireplace. Thank you for a wonderful book.

This book is excellent. It is detailed and easy to understand and gave me ideas I had never considered. I would definitely suggest it for all levels of DIY folks.
