This is a book showing how to create a simple, healthy and pure environment in the home. Wooden blinds, cotton shower liners, cedar linen shelves, pine tables, herb boxes and wooden floors turn rooms into more relaxing places, whilst the book also illustrates how to create more environmentally-friendly outdoor porches, weathered furnishings and gardens. Taking inspiration from sources as varied as the Shaker culture and traditional Japan, the book provides room-by-room problem-solving solutions to space-planning, storage and the use of light. There is also a guide for resources, and tip boxes within each section covering everything from natural moth repellants to herbal vinegars to recycling throughout the home.
