Trending on Remodelista: 5 Design Ideas to Steal from the Shakers

January 12, 2018

In an effort to streamline, simplify, and pare down their belongings, this week the Remodelista editors learned to live with just the essentials. Here are five ideas to steal from the Shakers:

Peg Rails

What can&#8\2\17;t you hang from a peg rail? The Remodelista editors are lining their walls with rails to hang coats, chairs, baskets, hats, scarves, kitchen utensils, and more. See why in this week&#8\2\17;s Object Lessons post.

Shaker Dining Tables

&#8\2\20;The Shakers used their dining tables for everything—working, mending, laundry, food prep, and more,&#8\2\2\1; writes Alexa. She rounds up her \10 favorite Shaker-inspired dining tables in this week&#8\2\17;s \10 Easy Pieces post.
