Taunton's Home Storage Idea Book FROM THE PUBLISHER
Imagine never losing your keys again or reaching into your closet and finding the shirt you want on the first try. Taunton's Home Storage Idea Book provides the help you need to banish that avalanche of wrinkled clothing, that cavernous kitchen drawer that ate your favorite spatula, and even that so-called entertainment center with its hodgepodge of remotes and mixed-up movies. With over 400 inspiring photos of real-life storage that really works, this book tells you how to achieve what you already know you need -- a more organized life.
SYNOPSIS
Attractive storage solutions are offered for all parts of the house, from the mudroom to the attic. As the title suggests, this is a volume to study for ideas rather than specific designs, though some room plans are included. Typical of this publisher, there's lots of sumptuous photos of clean, freshly painted, well-organized interiors to inspire the reader. Not indexed. Annotation c. Book News, Inc.,Portland, OR
FROM THE CRITICS
Publishers Weekly
Storage isn't the sexiest subject, but almost everyone has at least one closet, shelf or drawer that's either overstuffed, underused or in desperate need of some reorganization. This volume, the latest in the Taunton Idea Book series, is based on the premise that "storage is essential to living comfortably," and, in a genuinely practical fashion, Bouknight provides tips on making the most of under-utilized areas such as the space behind the staircase or under a dormer window. A chapter on bathrooms outlines where to stash the magazines or the extra towels, and the kitchen chapter even suggests ideas for screening the fire extinguisher. Photographs and architectural diagrams provide do-it-yourselfers a sense of how the perfectly organized hallway or bedroom might look, while giving attractive and common sense decorating ideas. For those tired of clutter-and who isn't?-this book will provide both advice and inspiration. (Oct.) Copyright 2003 Cahners Business Information.
