This book of furniture projects just didn't amuse me that much. I guess maybe I've seen so many Craftsman style books at this point that I was doomed to run out of steam and enthusiasm. I was shocked that I didn't even mark one design for a future project, but I didn't. (Of course, I'd be marking it for my husband to do lol, not me!). Overall the book was "okay" just perhaps not what I needed at the moment to inspire me to build (er...ask husband to build) a new piece.
