CUSTOMER REVIEWS:

Cape Cods - design -
This book is very helpful in creating new looks and ideas for any cape cods. The ideas they suggest are very pricey, but if money is not an issue, then the sky is the limit.

More For Larger Scale Upgrades -
I purchased this book with the hope of finding a few capes similar in layout to mine, and with ideas on how people have renovated certain rooms or how they may use them differently than me. This book, while very nice, pretty much made me depressed - almost all of the renovations were too large scale for what I was looking to do and seems to focus more on dramatic upgrades such as whole additions, entire floor plan changes, and overall high-budget changes. If you are seeking design ideas for larger-scale cape upgrades, then this book would no doubt be a great resource, but if you are seeking smaller scale ideas for how others have redesigned certain cape-sized rooms, you may want to look elsewhere.

Help for Cape Cod Owners -
I loved this book. We have a 1950's Cape Cod home. And anyone who has one knows, they can be very difficult to add on to without looking like you have a "moron room" - add a little more on, add a little more on. This book was filled with absolutely beautiful photos and gave me several ideas that we will utilize when we begin our work this summer.

I appreciated that we were able to view some of the pages before purchase. I had an idea what I was getting, and certainly was not disappointed. The book exceeded my expectations.

My contractor loved it... -
I am in the process of remodeling my 60 year old Cape using ideas from this book. I showed my contractor the book so he would know what I wanted to do & he joked that he almost walked off with it. Great ideas - great detail. Whatever your style.

where is middle america? -
If my cape was on the ocean this would be a good source of ideas. However, it offers little for the typical solid, somewhat plain capes that populate middle America. I love mine and could use some practical advice - this book doesn't help much.
