Design Solutions for Clutter-free Living
Interior designer and lifestyle consultant Randall Koll and design writer Casey Ellis emphasize the intelligent and imaginative use of furniture and accessory choices to ensure that function goes hand-in-hand with good looks. This volume offers professional advice, surprising and clever solutions, insights into creating positive household habits and inspiring full-color photographs detailing every room in the home.
Casey Ellis has written design and lifestyle articles for Victoria, Woman's Day, Robb Report and House Beautiful. Her work appears frequently in the San Francisco Chronicle Magazine. She divides her time between a 1910 house in Los Altos, California, and a 1937 William Wurster-designed beach house in Aptos, California, both of which have provided considerable source material — both comic and tragic — for her design writing.

He is a regular contributor to The San Francisco Chronicle "Home and Garden" section and has been featured in such magazines as Woman’s Day, Good Housekeeping, B For Savvy Brides, The San Francisco Chronicle Magazine and House Beautiful.
