Apartment Therapy Presents: Hundreds of Design Solutions
6 May 2008 Author: zenon In: Book & Magazines
If you follow design blogs you may know that Maxwell Gillingham-Ryan, the blogger behind the Apartment Therapy network of sites, is now the author of a second book on design; Apartment Therapy Presents: Real Homes, Real People, Hundreds of Design Solutions. A natural progression from his first book The Eight-Step Home Cure, a guide to de-cluttering your home and life, Design Solutions shows how real people have found solutions for their homes. 40 very personal, very real homes to be precise, from a South Beach Florida studio to an East Village walk up in New York City. Says Maxwell, “Nothing you do for your home is wasted. More than just a physical shelter, the home is both a second skin that protects us from the world outside and an emotional center that nourishes us and supports our innermost dreams.”.

The name may be vintage 80’s, but the design is from today. And teens aren’t the only ones who’ll appreciate the interior designs in this book. I have friends with teens and as the book asserts; “when kids hit the teenage years, a new challenge is born in the life of the family home and the home’s current layout may need radical readjusting-and new issues, from controlling noise to allowing privacy, arise.”. Those parents updated rooms in their home that, yes, were teen friendlier, but mostly made the parents happy. Teen Zone will no doubt make teens + parents MoCo design fans happy as it goes about suggesting ideas for games zones, dens and media rooms (as well as bedrooms, family spaces, and even a section on self-contained living for kids who’ve finished school, but haven’t yet flown the nest). Paperback, 160 pages, 250 color photographs, $29.79 at Amazon.
