Summary: Good advice with a practical basis.
Comment: Obviously no book about decorating/renovating is a bible. Everything is not going to be to your taste; everything will not be practical for you. But this book has a lot of sound advice on what materials and items last longest and are the least work to maintain. Our house is only in the planning stages, but this book has already taught us a lot. My parents followed its advice with the remodel of their bathroom and are so pleased at the low-maintenance results that they've requested a copy of their own for Christmas as a guide for doing the rest of the house.
The other book I'd recommend for people in the planning stages of a build or remodel is Ergonomic Living: How to Create a User-friendly Home and Office by Gordon Inkeles (ISBN 002093081X). Aslett shows you how to make things easy-care; Inkeles shows you how to make them comfortable and useful.

Summary: Yuck!!
Comment: I am all in favor of a simple, clutter free and low maintenance house, but really! This book should have a subtitle, "How to build a sterile, ugly house" or perhaps, "How to make your house even less appealing than a hospital waiting room." This book with tell you how to avoid any and all dust traps, like comfy furniture, artwork, or architectural features. It's great if you want your living room to look like the set of Star Trek, but not so great if you want you home to be . . . well . . .a HOME!

Summary: Designing a new home
Comment: I just read this book, and I can't say enough good things about it! I love a clean home, but hate housework, so every time I do housework now I think how much easier it would be, using Don and Laura's guidelines. My husband and I are currently designing a new home and we're implementing dozens of the suggestions outlined in the book... they just all make so much sense! If we were planning on staying in our current home I'd insist on changing many of its features to be lower maintenance. I can't wait for the day in our new home when I think, gee, housework is almost fun now!
