its S E X Y

If your house is anthing like mine, it's overflowing. Tools, cooking gadgets, books, pottery collections, not to menton the kid's toys and those school art projects too precious to throw away------ the trappings of modern life that pile up and easily overwhelm every inch of exiwting storage. For those of us in old houses, finding a place for all this stuff is a particular challenge, because space is already at a premium. While earlier generations surely had fewer things, they were also better at hiding them. Built-ins had been used for centuries before they became wildly popular in homes constructed during the early 20th century. In addition to being a terrific architectural element, they helped tame the mass of personal objects crowding new, smaller suburban dwellings. Since readers ask us constantly about nways to create storage space in old houses, we focused two articles in the issue on the subject
