The author has experience with children as is evident on her tips on considerations you need to make in the spaces if you have children and how to allow a room to grow with them more easily. Her kitchen tips are wonderful, but what I liked most was the beginning where she walks you through making a floor plan with removable furniture pieces so you can see to scale how piec s will fit. Great book.

Has some really brilliant ideas, the decor schemes a bit outdated admittedly, but if you can look past that and just get the ideas, it's really good.
Although many of the ideas, like so many other books, depend on owning your own home and having the liberty to make large changes, at least these ones are more practical in being less expensive!
---Update---
Having now re-read this (Nov 2013) after some others in between, it is the best of its kind that I have read with suggestions on everything from colours to lighting to furniture to styles etc etc. Yes, there are quite a few suggestions (such as raising up part of a room to divide the different activities taking place there) that you couldn't do unless you owned the home, but unlike a lot of other books, there are a lot of suggestions that are simply based on how you organise and lay out things, what furniture you choose, etc, that are equally applicable to those of us living in rented properties.
