Storage Style (Country Living)

Away with plain plastic boxes and utilitarian metal filing cabinets! With a little inspiration in the form of unusual containers and furnishings, storage also has style. And, for an imaginative showcase of solutions, "Country Living" is the best place to go. "Storage Style" presents smart, fun ideas from the most welcoming homes anywhere--clever tricks for organizing that infuse rooms with personality, wit, and flair. For example, a vintage dollhouse attached to a kitchen wall becomes a charming, unexpected spice rack. A lift-top pine trunk topped with a cushion masquerades as a window seat--and serves as a perfect hiding place for board games, toys, and other bric-a-brac. Or try classic country baskets, armoires, and more. These space-saving, clutter-camouflaging design schemes shout "pretty" with understated practicality.
