Skirting the Issue

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We all have things to hide, don't we? Sometimes a skirt can provide the solution to our storage needs. Perfect for small spaces, mudrooms and bathrooms, a swathe of fabric can stylishly conceal cleaning supplies, toiletries, office equipment or awkward architectural features that might be costly or impossible to correct. Other skirts - such as those draping a vanity table - have nothing to hide. They add romance to a room or softness to a space.</span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">   </span><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiU7aDRrPTsHzwHHejoBYFyEo_hNgfTq-ARb5bVwUH1d69LUddGXHQPKYEWRCiTMACwnFwcRcuBV7KfBzbDoKx4kR2avTMzvvJRdy5VsjktdOubvUS4K-g1IWl8aNXTtyPvejckn8yTgmV4/s1600/06-hbx-linen-skirting-counter-whitson-0613-lgn.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiU7aDRrPTsHzwHHejoBYFyEo_hNgfTq-ARb5bVwUH1d69LUddGXHQPKYEWRCiTMACwnFwcRcuBV7KfBzbDoKx4kR2avTMzvvJRdy5VsjktdOubvUS4K-g1IWl8aNXTtyPvejckn8yTgmV4/s1600/06-hbx-linen-skirting-counter-whitson-0613-lgn.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"Linen skirting 'makes the butler's pantry pretty' while hiding two wine coolers and an 18-inch dishwasher." </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Home of antiques dealer Jeannette Whitson.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Interior design by Jeannette Whitson.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Photography by Simon Watson.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"<a href="http://www.housebeautiful.com/decorating/house-pictures/creating-a-new-old-house-0613?click=main_sr#slide-8" target="_blank">A New Nashville House With an Old Soul</a>" by Barbara King.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><a href="http://www.housebeautiful.com/" target="_blank">House Beautiful</a> (June 2013).</span></div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgH4NrJ8mXnAEh0g6UAaBQYdeNPJin0cFMxF7P7-Wja3zxthBU5CGVdKxgI1lTU0xGH_zmHudpf0UxIthdlK8tST9z6Bt7KY-NmTeDEp_AHi8oWFokSYzNYP_cDj1gVfBTXBKrU0aPr5vTB/s1600/09-hbx-soapstone-sink-whitson-0613-lgn.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgH4NrJ8mXnAEh0g6UAaBQYdeNPJin0cFMxF7P7-Wja3zxthBU5CGVdKxgI1lTU0xGH_zmHudpf0UxIthdlK8tST9z6Bt7KY-NmTeDEp_AHi8oWFokSYzNYP_cDj1gVfBTXBKrU0aPr5vTB/s1600/09-hbx-soapstone-sink-whitson-0613-lgn.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"> <span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"A skylight gives the mudroom the air of a conservatory.
