decorating
An antique Swedish secretary gives Sue an attractive
place to sort mail and organize her day. She stashes
a laptop computer in the drawer below the fold-
down desk and a small printer behind closed doors
above. “When I
’m not using the desk, I
close it up
and turn the chair around for extra seating,” she says.
5. manage clutter
Because the cottage lacked a foyer or entry closet,
John built sturdy plywood shelves and Fraise
designed a pretty skirt that can conceal shoes and
boots, as well as baskets for hats, camera equipment,
and games. A glass top makes cleaning easy.
6. be distinct
Fraise lined the stationary curtains with a contrasting
pattern to give each “room” definition. ®
