Tip 5. Luxury lies in the details. Like an outfit-changing handbag or belt, Anthro's iron-and-jute drawer pulls trick folk into assuming that everything else is fancy, too. ($12 each; anthropologie.com)
Tip 6. There's a website for that! Searching for a skinny stove or diminutive dishwasher? Check out compactappliance.com, where I ordered my slender oven, a space-saving splurge at $500.
Tip 7. Sometimes, form should trump function. Practical it's not, but this midcentury refrigerator—an $80 gem gleaned from the local Penny Saver circular—scores major points for old-school cool. Besides, it serves the necessary purpose in guest quarters: chilling beer and butter.
Tip 8. Even recycling bins deserve a little soul. Why live with an unattractive plastic trash can when a crate brings character to the task? I snagged this "combustion chamber" box for $10 during my town's annual yard-sale day. (visithistoricathens.com)
Tip 9. A shortcut can be long on style. Ripping out the linoleum revealed wide-plank—and cat-pee stains galore. Green porch paint (custom-mixed to match the trading post sign I found at the Country Living Fair) hid the evidence, sans countless sandings.
Tip 10. Eliminate confusion with easy-access cubbies. Rather than force weekend visitors to hunt for plates and glasses—not to mention booze—I stash all the necessities in plain sight on Pottery Barn units that line the wall opposite the sink. And lest you think visible storage dictates expensive dishes: I purchased my whiteware at Home Goods and stemware at Walmart. (For similar storage unit, $139; ikea.com)
