Industry Reviews
"This is an excellent and original book on an unusual topic. It would be useful to anyone trying to solve problems or complete a creative project. Writing a book or illustrating a graphic novel? Solving programming or other analytical problems? Painting a picture or quilting a memory quilt? All of those activities can be assisted by being done in a more creative space." -- Diane Reviews Books

It's a book on how to be more creative both by making your house more conducive to creative pursuits but also by what you can do personally to inspire creativity.
