Publisher's Synopsis
Country Living brings a fresh new eye to all your storage dilemmas, showing how the best ideas are stylish as well as practical. Learn how junk-shop bargains can help solve your organizational problems, examine space you’ve taken for granted in the past, and make a place for everything, whether it’s concealed, as in decorative old suitcases, or on display, as in shelving. You’ll be surprised at how rewarding – and enjoyable – de-cluttering a home can be! Whether cleverly concealing clutter or arranging collectables in an orderly fashion, you’ll learn the simplest and most enjoyable ways to approach storage - and the most logical, too. You’ll begin to see organization as an integral element of decorating and will find many ideas that are so exciting, you’ll be quickly moved into action. Included are plenty of expert pointers, tips and solutions for every room, from the kitchen to the home office. The decorated metal trunk that doubles as a chest for your children’s toys, a once-loved doll’s house now whimsically converted into a spice rack, a low bench that serves as an improvised bookshelf, a basket to hold small items tucked under a side table, an old ladder recycled as a hanging saucepan rack, the mahogany-veneered chest of drawers transformed into a bathroom vanity unit, a stack of trunks packed with bed linen that serve as bedside tables – each idea is both functional and attractive, and can even set the tone for a whole room.
