    Why don't you give exact delivery time?

    Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

    Long description:

    In Inside Stories, Hilary Robertson reveals a multitude of ways to curate and arrange those objects and possessions that make up the stuff of life, from treasured artworks and decorative accessories to everyday objects such as hats, baskets and bicycles.



    In the first chapter, How to Arrange your Stuff, Hilary considers four different approaches to creating arrangements ? intuitive, narrative, practical and curatorial ? and shows how each one can be achieved. She considers the variety of display locations available within the home ? walls, mantelpieces, windowsills, chests of drawers, tabletops ? and suggests how to make the most of them with decorative vignettes. Next, in Stories Told by Real Homes, Hilary casts her stylist?s eye over interiors that fall into five different styles ? Neatnik, Bohemian, Naturalist, Sculpture Vulture and Noble Salvage. Some people are magpies ? they love stuff; finding, collecting, and displaying it ? while their opposite, the minimalists, are on a mission to contain or tame it. The ideas in this book will appeal to magpies, minimalists and everyone in between.
