PLAY
“TENNIS”
ON YOUR
DINING
TABLE.
Instead of letting the space
sit empty between formal dinner
parties, the Sidneys decided
to turn it into a game room.
When it’s time to host a sit-down
meal, they simply unscrew
the net, lay down a tablecloth
and bring in the chairs.

USE A CARD CATALOG
AS A WINE HOLDER.
A bottle of wine fits perfectly into a drawer of an old card
catalog, like this one the Sidneys bought through
Craigslist. Drawers without wine offer a perfect spot to
stash birthday and other holiday cards.
Instead of installing
pricey wallpaper, Sam
bought a $46 Cheetah Spots
wall stencil (royaldesign
studio.com) and painted
black shapes right on
the wall.
THAT’S
GENIUS!
