Sunset Ideas for Remodeling Your Home is a vintage guide focused on creative, color-illustrated remodeling strategies for mid-century and older homes, emphasizing practical improvements over expensive expansions.  Published by Sunset Books, the book offers step-by-step directions for structural changes and interior upgrades to transform existing spaces. 

Key topics include:

--Space Optimization: Gaining square footage by adding on, rearranging existing layouts, and making small subdivision houses larger. 
--Exterior and Interior Updates: Ideas for exterior face-lifts, opening homes to outdoor living, and updating lighting or climate control.
--Practical DIY: Tips for handymen, using alternative materials, and remodeling specific rooms like kitchens and bathrooms. 
--Special Features: Guidance on building window seats and implementing safety and security measures.

The content reflects the Mid-Century Modern sensibility of the era, aiming to help homeowners achieve a "gracious" look through functional, regional solutions rather than costly new construction.
