Creating a House with Built-In Character

Discover the details that bring a home to life

Most people assume it's a building's age that gives it its charm, when in fact it's the attention to small details that makes it feel so good. Small touches often go unnoticed, but they have a huge effect on our experience of a place. In this adaptation of Sarah Susanka's book, Inside the Not So Big House (Taunton, 2005), we use one home to illustrate how to use details to add character to your home.
