Review: Great photographs - I purchased Small House primarily for inspiration, and I was far from disappointed! The pictures are clear and crisp - showing the many interesting details in the homes.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great photographs
*by P***L on April 5, 2014*

I purchased Small House primarily for inspiration, and I was far from disappointed! The pictures are clear and crisp - showing the many interesting details in the homes. I have not read the book. I've only looked at the photos two or three time, so I can provide no review of the text - sorry!

### ⭐⭐⭐ Oddly dated
*by C***N on January 17, 2021*

This book could be useful in deciding what kind of materials and/or finishes one might want to use., altough there is a monotonous use of orange-colored wood on exteriors and interiors which I think is outdated. There are floor plans for the various houses, but they lack dimensions, which of course one needs in order to get an idea of possible cost. I suspect that most of the houses are beyond the means of most of the people who might be interested in them. There are also a number of houses with flat roofs. Having lived in a mid-century modern in the northeast with a flat roof, that is positively the stupidest idea in the world. Your contractor better love you if you want to get the snow shoveled off the roof before it collapses. I bought the book to provide ideas for my one-day dream house which I think will happen soon, but all in all I was disappointed.
