The peanut, for over 20 years a leading crop in the Southern States, reaches the consumer in many widely different forms. Once grown exclusively for sale roasted in the shell and for feeding to hogs, peanuts are now more widely known in the salted form, and even larger quantities are marketed each year as peanut butter and peanut candy. In some years a considerable volume of peanuts has been crushed and the crude oil shipped to manufacturers of oleomargarine, compounds and vegetable shortenings, and salad oil. The course taken by the peanut in its journey from farm to the consumer, then, is necessarily a varied one, with many bypaths.
A companion to the best-selling book by the founder of a top interiors blog, this easy-to-use dictionary of interior design answers all those hard-to-solve decorating questions. The book begins with the most important questions of all: Who? What? Where? Why? How? And When? The aim is to answer these before you start any decorating scheme to avoid the most common mistakes, save money, and, most importantly, create a home that works for you and the people who live there. Mad About the House: The Practical Stuff is the super-practical guide that allows you to dip in and out so you can solve all your decorating dilemmas. The chapters focus on Walls, Floors, Ceilings, Windows, Doors and Skirtings, Furniture Layout, and Lighting, before finally a roundup of Fixtures and Fittings. In addition to the no-nonsense practical answers, there are checklists and step-by-step guides to key decorating challenges--everything from How to Hang Wallpaper, to Arranging a Gallery Wall and Removing Stains from Carpets and Soft Furnishings.
