Stuff of Life: Arranging things ordinary & extraordinary

Stuff of Life: Arranging things ordinary & extraordinary

Hilary Robertson reveals a multitude of ways to style and display the â€œstuff of lifeâ€â€”the flotsam and jetsam of possessions, from pictures and ornaments to hats and bicycles, that we accumulate over the course of time.

In the first chapter, How to Arrange your Stuff, Hilary identifies and illustrates four different approaches to arrangementsâ€”intuitive, narrative, practical, and curatorialâ€”and shows how each one can be achieved. She also considers the variety of display locations available within the homeâ€”walls, mantelpieces, windowsills, chests of drawers, tabletopsâ€”and suggests how to make the most of them. Next, in Stories Told by Real Homes, Hilary shares insider knowledge drawn from the experience of creating interiors that fall into five different stylesâ€”Neatnik, Bohemian, Naturalist, Sculpture Vulture, and Noble Salvage. Some people are magpiesâ€”they love stuff; finding, collecting, and displaying itâ€”while their opposite, the minimalists, are on a mission to contain or tame it. The ideas in this book will appeal to magpies, minimalists, and everyone in between.
