"Built-ins can make any house more functional, livable, personalized, and comfortable, and they cost much less to construct and install than a whole-room remodel. In this completely revised and updated edition of Built-Ins Idea Book, Heather J. Paper has collected inspirational and practical storage solutions for every room of the house. With the addition of a few well-placed built-ins, a two-small kitchen can become more efficient and inviting, a cramped bathroom can become more useful and organized, and a living room or workspace can become more productive and spacious. By reclaiming space that would otherwise go unused, built-ins offer a way to transform any house into a home." -- Amazon.com.
