 great info October 24, 2008

I have read all of Lauri Ward's books and quite frankly was so excited to see she had written a new one! With so many "baby boomers" downsizing, this book is not only informative but extremely timely. Lauri Ward always has a fresh approach to rooms and this is a book I will share with my friends who are thinking about making that next move.

This is a great book to organize a couple who is living in a small urban apartment. Especially if you are merging two apartments into one!
Great Advice as Usual! January 14, 2008

I always can count on Laurie Ward for useful, practical ideas. I love her ideas on how to 'repurpose your stuff'. Which is why I always read her books- to be able to reuse my things in other rooms and settings to give items a fresh new look. Try it- take that pretty little chair from corner of living room no one uses, and try to place in bedroom near window with little table. Looks so much nicer and inviting doesn't it? Thank you Laurie!
Downsizing Your Home With Style. - A refreshing read. January 13, 2008
6 out of 6 found this review helpful
It is refreshing to see an author expand on some of the same principles used in her previous books and then show how to resolve these problems as a new life stage occurs. I found the author's advice easy to follow, and enjoyed the visuals throughout the book. Even though I am a few years away from downsizing, reading this book has inspired me to start the process now using the tips given by the author. I would recommend it to any homeowner to use whether they are downsizing now, or in the future.
