The Spacemaker Book - 1977

An intriguing, and optimistic glimpse into 1970s thinking on efficient interior living design! "The greatest challenge of the Space Age seems to be that of overcoming the lack of it: adequate space to eat, sleep, entertain, play, and live in is essential but expensive, and no one ever seems to have enough. This no-nonsense space-saving guide is designed to help everyone who contends with cramped quarters (from one-room apartments to large homes inhabited by larger families) create more comfortable and coherent living environments. Tiny kitchen? Nonexistent bedroom? No place for the baby's carriage... or the baby? Author/decorator Ellen Liman analyzes a multitude of such problems and, with the help of several hundred captivating illustrations, provides easy-to-follow solutions to every conceivable "squeeze," from conjuring up the illusion of space (with color, paint, lighting, and mirrors) and creating rooms from nowhere, to constructing multi-levels—lofts, balconies, and platforms. The Spacemaker Book is an exciting and uncommonly useful decorating sourcebook. It provides an affordable blueprint for the efficient—and beautiful—conquest of anybody's living space." - The Spacemaker Book - Ellen Liman. Drawings by Nancy Stahl.
