The Storage Book: Over 250 Inspirational Ideas for Creating Stylish Home Storage

Banishing clutter is a noble objective, but far easier said than done. If your possessions are overflowing, your space is limited, and your imagination is stymied, turn to The Storage Book for clever ideas on neatening up every room in the house, plus the yard and garage. Stylish photos and sensible text provide countless hints on finding, adapting, and/or making interesting containers, shelving, cabinets, and other items to organize, camouflage, or highlight all kinds of stuff. An array of handwoven baskets on open shelves, a rustic pine peg rail, a compartmentalized display platform, a stack of decorative hatboxes, a series of neatly tailored canvas sacks hung on a dowel--there are plenty of ways to sort things attractively in the open, as well as many more that utilize store-bought or custom-built storage items. There are also 12 step-by-step projects, from fabric-covered boxes to a roll-around bin to a pocketed shower curtain. --Amy Handy
