The book
Whether you’re looking to build a storage shed or to take advantage of unused space in your closet, this volume will help you tidy up all around the house—from the bathroom to the backyard and everywhere in-between.
Everybody always looks so remarkably happy when they are sitting next to their new bookshelves or potting up a tomato in their remarkably elaborate new shed. But I just think, I bet it's not actually that great, those pull out shelves that took a million years to make and cost way more than you thought they would. And life goes on. Nothing stays neat. You thought the bins would make it all better and they didn't. Now where are you.
I love these kinds of books! Very aspirational for me as I haven't built a thing from it, but maybe someday... Lots of clear, cheery, impossibly clean photos of how the finished project looks like as well as equally precise how-to photos. Numerous illustrations and pro tips. Perfect (public) library resource.
