Design your life : the pleasures and perils of everyday things

Examining such topics as housekeeping, entertaining, parenthood, time management, D.I.Y, and more, shows you how to evaluate the things you use and how to recognize the forms of order that inhabit the messes of everyday life.
Abstract: Shows how design is about much more than what's bought at high-end stores or the modern look at IKEA. This book casts an eye on everything from roller bags, bras, toilet paper and stuffed animals to parenting, piles, porches and potted plants.
