Mark and Sally Bailey were early to the game with their “repair, reuse, and rethink” design philosophy (we’ve posted about their housewares emporium Baileys Home & Garden frequently over the years). The couple has written three books: Recycled Home, Simple Home, and Hand Made Home, and converted a series of farm buildings in the Hereford countryside of England into a destination compound for interiors enthusiasts in search of an honest utilitarian aesthetic. They’re constantly innovating and updating their offerings; take a tour of the latest developments.

Above: In a converted farm building, the Baileys used recycled and salvaged furniture for display; while every inch of available space is utilized, the clutter is contained through organization.
Above: Wired-cube display shelving presents a grid of organization. Safco make a similar system for home use that’s available via Amazon; the Wire Cube Shelving System (10 units) is $100, and in the UK, the Wire Cube Shelving System (4 units in black) is £38.34.
Above: The innovative displays adhere to the Baileys’ design philosophy of “repair, reuse, and rethink.”

Above: Wood Apple Crates with dividers provide under-counter storage.
Above: The Baileys often create modular shelving systems with American Crates on Wheels, which are larger in scale than standard crates. Placing them on wheels means they’re easily transportable.
Above: A simple hanging rail, constructed out of plumbing parts, becomes the background framework for assorted Creamware Jugs.

Baileys Home and Garden is in Hereford, near Wales and about a 3 1/2 hour train journey from Central London.
