To complement the ever-popular country decorating style, Rains (Real Simple Celebrations) and the editors of Country Living magazine provide ideas for storage. The book takes on every room of the house—living rooms, dining rooms, kitchens, bedrooms, bathrooms, and the garden. In close to 200 color photographs, the editors highlight creative ways in which flea-market finds can be employed, such as using a library card catalog for storing basic household tools or a steamer trunk to store bedroom linens. For each space, they supply a look at one example, pointing out specifically successful storage ideas. Projects are included, which range from creating a simple rack for hanging garden tools to transforming a dresser drawer into a beverage station, with some requiring significant do-it-yourself skills or more detailed instructions.
VERDICT This well-illustrated volume provides a wealth of inspiring solutions to storage dilemmas for amateur interior decorators.
