Storage Workshop

Book excerpt: From apartment dwellers to mansion owners, we all could use a little more storage. Fortunately, because storage systems and solutions have come a long way in the past few years, there’s an answer to almost every problem--and it’s right in here. With the cleverness you’d expect from any House Beautiful Workshop guide, it tackles all the general issues before moving into each individual room and examining what works with various design styles and lifestyles. Of course, attractive photos illustrate and clarify every point throughout. There’s advice on getting started, taking control, assessing needs, putting everything in its place, and taking advantage of underused niches and architectural features, plus original ideas for displaying or concealing the stuff we accumulate.
