House to Home is both the story of how the author reshaped her own home and a guide to how you can think like an architect while reshaping your home. She points out things most people overlook: for example, that accessibility is essential for any home, since most currently able-bodied people plan to get old, and most of us won’t be able to handle stairs with quite the same agility as we age.

Interstitial pages between chapters offer you a place to make notes and sketches, if you’ve bought a copy in print. (You mustn’t do that to a library copy, and good luck doing that to an e-book.)

Whether you’re planning to build or remodel a house, or you’re just curious what goes on behind the scenes on HGTV projects, House to Home will give you the insights you need.

I am grateful to NetGalley for a free review copy.
