"It would be hard to think of a more important thinker in residential design than Sarah Susanka.... Armed with her insights you march more confidently into building or remodeling your home."
                —Russ Morash, creator, This Old House

In Home By Design, Sarah Susanka presents the 27 key concepts that can be applied to any home—no matter what the style or size. Using 30 of the best designed homes from around the country, Susanka brings these concepts to life with 150 powerful and inspirational examples, from something as simple as placing a rug under a table to defining one room from another with a framed opening or archway. Home By Design gives you a new way to "see" your house and practical means of creating the home you've always coveted.
