"Nooks and Corners" by J. E. Panton is a guidebook on household management and home decoration written in the late 19th century. The text serves as a companion piece to "From Kitchen to Garret," addressing the evolving needs of families as they move into larger homes. The book offers practical advice on managing and decorating living spaces, focusing on the experiences of a couple, Edwin and Angelina, as they navigate the complexities of moving and making a house into a home. The opening of the book introduces the author's reflections on moving house, expressing both the emotional weight of leaving a first home and the practical challenges that come with such a transition. Panton shares her insights on what individuals should consider before making a move, emphasizing the importance of retaining connections to community and maintaining a personal sense of style and comfort in new surroundings. She discusses the psychological impact of a new environment and provides guidance on selecting new homes, managing possessions during the move, and decorating to create a beautiful and meaningful living space. Overall, the beginning lays the groundwork for a detailed exploration of the intricacies of home decoration and domestic life, setting a warm and relatable tone for readers.
