Creative Ideas for The Home & Garden
Everyone Loves Pie
Pie chests were used as early as the 1700s to protect
baked goods and other perishable food items from insects
and mice. Traditional pie chests featured double-hinged
front doors that were ventilated by either screen mesh
or metal panels punched with holes to form patterns
or designs. This one-of-a-kind piece was handmade in
Vermont from native pine trees and measures 30½ inches
tall, 38 inches wide and 17 inches deep. It is available from
Beach House Gallery at 638 Skinner Blvd. in Dunedin,
(727) 216-6322.

Sophisticated
Roll-Top
This solid wood desk was designed by Jon Mortensen
for Scan Design and offers a new twist on the traditional
roll-top desk. This piece has been modified with an
expanded center area to accommodate laptops and
stationery, while the lower two drawers have been
combined to form an oversized, lateral file cabinet. This
sleek, versatile workspace is available in teak or walnut
