Country Sampler Decorating Ideas readers always ask for ways to stretch tiny spaces with creative storage and display ideas. Show It or Stow It offers projects-some quick and easy, others more complex-to help readers create decorative pieces for organizing every room in the house and for showing off their prized collections. Show It or Stow It features flea-market finds fashioned into pretty and practical display shelves, hide-it-away ottomans, and office organizers; vintage architectural elements repurposed as charming picture ledges, knickknack shelves, and kitchen organizers; easy-sew fabric projects for stowing everything from magazines and toiletries to a closet's worth of clothes; and much more. The books in the Drab to Fab series embrace the same philosophy that's made Country Sampler Decorating Ideas America's favorite how-to decorating magazine: Give readers the skills to revitalize their homes using color and personal touches, all while implementing inexpensive, easy methods. The books start with the basics and introduce readers to the materials and techniques they'll use to transform their furniture, their walls, and their homes. Each chapter covers a different style or technique, and then presents four separate step-by-step projects complete with color photos of every part of the process, including before-and-after photos.
