Lovely photography.

This is another of the tiny house books I checked out from the library. This one is actually "mini" homes, rather than tiny... but I wouldn't consider many of the homes in this book to be even mini. This isn't about small homes as much as it is about really unusual homes. This book should have been called "Small homes for rich people with an architect friend who thinks he's Frank Lloyd Wright."

Mostly pictures, very little explanations. Empty homes for the most part. Disappointed. We'd hoped to she how people actually lived in them, how they organized and stuff. Typos in the scare descriptions.

I love these types of books, love to immerse myself in the inspirational designs, the innovation, and execution. Great photography, and concise text.

Who wouldn't want to live in "World of Living" Tree House? Well, maybe I wouldn't, because I couldn't see photos of the bathroom, bedroom, or kitchen, but boy does it look like a dream! I really wish this pretty little square book included more details about each mini home, such as location, cost, and square footage. So much fun to see the same caption in six languages for each of the featured homes.

I always feel like I need to get rid of a bunch of stuff after reading a book like this....
