I wasn’t feeling in the mood to start anything on my shelves, last night — not even the new Christopher Moore book — so I decided to flip through all of the non-fiction books I’ve picked up over the last few weeks. That was a good choice. I had some nice light reading and thoroughly enjoyed my reading time (even though I didn’t love all of the books I read.)
First, Jay Shafer’s DIY Book of Backyard Sheds and Tiny Houses. Ho hum. It was mostly a sales pitch for his line of tiny houses. The back section of the book was filled with things like “how to fell a tree” and “how to raise a wall”, which was nice enough. Ho hum.
Creative Ideas to Organize Your Home was not so much about organizing your home as it was about making things with the “junk” you have lying around and pretending like those things will help you organize more junk. I wasn’t interested in anything in the book and I like that sort of thing. Blah.
Remodelista reminded me why I like the Remodelista website. I read every word. I loved all of the houses. No, not much of it would ever apply to my life but I did find myself with a new appreciation for subway tile, (TW does not agree. She does want pretty cloth-covered extension cords, though. And, I really want a 70s gaming table.)
