Can you please provide the dimensions of the window seat on p. 122? We have specified a window seat in our addition, and I'd love to have this very one. Thank you.

Sarah doesn't have the dimensions for the window seat herself, but you might be able to figure it out by looking at the floor plans, which you can find by clicking on this link: http://www.notsobighouse.com/plans/inside/index.asp (Craftsman Character on a Narrow Lot). If this doesn't help, I would recommend contacting the architect, Gail Wong. Her contact information is listed in the back of the book.

Thanks!

Marie

Thank you for that link.

I looked back at the text about the window seat, and it cuts off on page 120 mid sentence. Can you please provide the rest of the paragraph?

Unfortunately, there was not enough room for the full paragraph, so the plan was to cut the paragraph completely, but somehow it was missed in the first printing. I believe that the second printing will not have even the beginning of the paragraph, so this is the only place you'll be able to see it in it's entirety. It should have read:

If the family room shows what you can do with a space 10 ft. wide, then the window seat shows what's possible in 3 ft. In every way (except in not having a floor), the window seat is treated as a miniature room. It has its own set of windows, of course, but also a mini-library of bookshelves, seating for more than one, a wide sill with room for plants and a reading lamp, and a lowered ceiling framed with wide fir trim. Flanking the fireplace and open to the full length of the house, it's the perfect place for an afternoon nap or a cup of coffee on a rainy Seattle morning, snug but not the least bit cramped.

I hope you enjoy the rest of the book!
