Pretty and Organized - Jane Hughes

Pretty and Organized is the ultimate guide to creating innovative and stylish storage solutions. It includes 30 practical projects for any room in the home -- bedroom, craft room, kitchen, dining room, hallway, bathroom, kids' play area, even the garage and workshop.

The advantage of Pretty and Organized is that not only does it show how to make personalized storage, it helps with the decluttering process, which is what keeps so many people from conquering the problem. Using the basic principles set out in this book, an organized life is readily achievable. The tips and techniques are great for a closet or a room -- the whole house actually, and ideal for creating new habits that will help to prevent clutter in the future.

Inspirational color photographs and concise instructions provide professional guidance for the 30 storage solutions that can easily be tailored for specific problems:

• Hallway/Entranceway - Dedicated storage for high traffic: coat peg rack, tidy bags, shoes shelf
• Kitchen - Gain efficient storage in the busiest room: meal planner, magnetic board, food storage
• Living Room - Keep a cluttered open-plan room neat: magazine files, drinks trolley, electronics bag
• Bathroom - Practical storage for the whole family: travel roll, first aid box, wall pockets
