[.uk] Complete Home Storage (Complete...) (ISBN 0376017716)

Amazon.com Review:
I consider myself, by average standards, to be fairly organized and somewhat innovative in figuring out storage options for everything from linens to scrap lumber in my home and workshop, but when Sunset Books says "complete" book of home storage, they're not kidding! There are lots of great ideas I never thought of, diagrams, suggestions, plans. I particularly liked their attention to using otherwise "dead" space for inventive storage, and like all of Sunset's how-to books, clear illustrations and great photographs make theoretical ideas easy to imagine, plan, and realize in your own home.

Sunset's Usual Informative Style:
The storage how-to info covers from wine racks to storing recyclables to luggage and all the troublesome belongings that overwhelm the average American home. Everyone can find some new idea here to use forgotten space. I like the idea of cutting into the space under the stairs for drawers. In the garage it shows innovative sloping wall cabinets to use the over-the-car space. Instead of an expensive bike rack, get 2 closet rod brackets or build crossbars down from ceiling beams. Have you thought of wire screen shelves in the mud-room for mittens and boots to air and dry? There are ideas for kitchens, workshops, children's rooms, etc. Ample color illustrations and some photos show the options & get the reader thinking. Great ideas for overloaded homes.

Why are the reviews the same between Sunset and SL?:
I notice that the reviews for Southern Living's book THE COMPLETE HOME ORGANIZER and Sunsets book of the same title are identical. The editorial review for SL's book even refers to it as a Sunset book. How odd.

Organization:
If there is a lack of space, nothing helps. This book provides ideas for finding places to store items.

OK but not their own ideas:
I did see quite a few of the pictures before, in other books. So all in all this book is OK, but not very original.

Any new storage ideas?:
I was hoping that this would have some new ways for storage in ways that were practical for my home.
