2. Freestanding furniture. Who can resist the charms of this delightful and inviting space, with its mishmash of freestanding furniture, quirky industrial lighting and rows of gleaming copper pots and pans (stalwarts of the country style)?Add the slouchy leather armchair, and this is where you’ll find me all day long — whether whipping up a light lunch or sitting back with a good book.

How to Clean Copper Naturally Marie Stegner, consumer health advocate for the Maid Brigade, a green homekeeping company based in Atlanta, says there are alternative ways to clean copper. One of her favorites is to mix kosher salt with lemon juice in a small bowl to make a paste. “I always use the kosher salt because it has bigger crystals,” she says. “Then you just have to scrub it and rinse.” Stegner is also a fan of cleaning copper with ketchup. Hold the fries. “It’s kind of funny, but it works,” she says. “Put a dab of ketchup on the [copper pan] and rub it in a circular motion with a microfiber cloth. It cleans right away.” If you’re hesitant to give this home remedy a try, Stegner suggests you try it on a penny first.

Nice looking (and hopefully practical) ladder hanging in plain sight.

Pretty flooring for laundry room but cant figure out how to move folders.

We love this kitchen flooring and look.
