Setting Up Home - Hardcover

Filled with stimulating, helpful ideas for redesigning and furnishing a first home, Setting Up Home provides a practical guide to the myriad home planning decisions. Beginning by acknowledging the reality of budgets and by emphasizing the need for careful planning to make the best use of limited funds, Gilliatt first concentrates on the basics of choosing to buy or rent, preliminary space planning, and overall organization. As separate spaces are analyzed, the excellent color photographs highlight Gilliatt's original room designs. She continually emphasizes how to make effective use of limited space, or how to make spaces function in multiple ways. The reader learns how to refinish wood, install safety devices, use mirrors and lighting, work with paints, and cover floors and walls. Highly recommended. Margaret Jean Owens, Santa Ana P.L., Cal.
