Nothing new here. I find more interesting stuff on tv, the internet or my library. Waste of money. And it was pricey.

Karl Champley's book, "Same Place, More Space," of do it yourself, space saving ideas made the once daunting task of moving in with my girlfriend a seemingly fun and easy experience. Champley offers brilliant storage optimizing solutions for almost any or every room in your living space and really makes the most out of tight spaces. The best part is that most of the solutions were rather easy to accomplish on our own and the instructions are very easy to follow, especially when my girlfriend made sure I actually followed them.
The addition of the floating shelves in our bathroom has changed our lives; we are now able to actually use our bathroom sink without putting our things on the floor. Then of course the biggest challenge for us was the closet, there was no way we were going to fit both of our wardrobes in it comfortably. Since neither of us wanted to give up our clothes we had to make some changes and WOW! After using Champley's closet makeover we actually have EXTRA SPACE in our closet. We were stunned!
This book is a must have for anyone having trouble with clutter in their living space. The easy to follow instructions along with the difficulty level of each project represented by a certain number of hammers at the beginning of each set of instructions were really spot-on. This is a book that I will definitely be keep, using, and recommending for years to come. Thank you Karl Champley!
