Tauntons Cabins and Cottages and Other Small Spaces

Taunton's Cabins & Cottages and Other Small Spaces. Fine Woodworking

Bigger doesn't always mean better. Especially when it comes to your mortgage payment. Unfortunately the recent real estate crisis taught us that important lesson. Cabins & Cottages - and Other Small Spaces will inspire you to think smaller and smarter.

With each turn of the page in Taunton's Cabins & Cottages you will be captivated by gorgeous photographs of inspiring, exciting small spaces. In this collection from "Fine Homebuilding" magazine, the featured authors focus on homes both new and remodeled, urban and rural, traditional and modern, and even a few truly quirky spaces including:

• A Garden Cottage for Low-Impact Living
• Watch Island Retreat
• Do-It-Yourself Retreat
• A Cottage Fit for a Hobbit
• A New Floor Plan Saves an Old House
• Carriage-House Comeback
• A Better House Not a Bigger One
• plus other small structures like Stylish Sheds, Studio, Storage and More

Smaller homes can serve all the purposes of a much larger home, you simply need careful planning and smart strategies. Since smaller homes are becoming more popular, (due to economic factors, smaller family sizes, tighter building lots, and the desire to use fewer natural resources), builders and designers are getting creative and employing all their best tricks to help homeowners get the most out of their tight spaces. The petite, stylish homes featured throughout Cabins & Cottages are as big as they need to be and perfectly fit the lifestyles and aspirations of their homeowners. Get inspired and enjoy all design styles and construction types showcased here in hundreds of beautiful photographs.
