    Great idea but the stack trees she uses are not available. Alderberry Hill doesn’t say where they can be found, even after numerous requests from her followers. I searched online and no place to buy them. Why post something if it isn’t possible to make 🙁 Very dissapointing 🙁

      It’s a shame they aren’t available, however one can still draw inspiration from the craft using regular cones or constructing something different. Sometimes it’s about inspiration too 🙂

    I am in agreement with the first comment Why do you print these directions and then cannot find the trees. I spent yesterday traveling 150 miles to the city to purchase the supplies for our library project and got everything but the trees. Money wasted

      Hi Janet. I’m sorry you were unable to find the trees. As I mentioned in my previous comment, even if they aren’t available you can still draw inspiration from the project and use a different type of tree. As for driving 150 miles? I am sorry, but if I had to drive that far, I think I would call ahead and see if the store stocked what I needed. I realize it’s probably easier to blame me for that, but I have to disagree with you.

Hidden Storage Fake Books – Why You Need Them

I am absolutely in love with these color-styled hidden storage books. They are one of those home decor finds that instantly make a shelf or coffee table look more styled, more thoughtful, and a little more expensive. Which color would you get?

What makes them so appealing is that they are not just decorative. Each faux book opens up to reveal hidden storage, which means they are doing double duty as both decor and a practical way to tuck away little bits of everyday clutter. I love anything that helps a space look beautiful while still being useful, and these do exactly that.

The blue tones in this set are especially lovely. They feel calm, elegant, and easy to blend into so many decor styles, from modern and coastal through to classic or vintage-inspired spaces. They have that curated designer look that makes it seem like you have carefully styled every corner of your home.

These are the kind of pieces that make me ridiculously happy because they solve a problem without looking like storage. You can use them to hide remotes, notes, keepsakes, or all those random little things that never seem to have a proper home. Instead of adding more baskets or boxes, you get something that looks polished and intentional.

I think that is why I am so taken with them. They are pretty, clever, and practical all at once. For anyone who loves styled bookshelves, beautiful coffee table decor, or home accessories that secretly work harder than they look, these hidden storage books are such a fun find.
