Peg rail, a simple storage solution pioneered by the Shakers, is still keeping lives in order

Straight and Narrow

Mention the Shakers—a radical sect of celibate Christians who emigrated from England to America in 1774—and their furniture likely comes to mind. The group was ahead of its time in many respects: gender equality, environmental stewardship, intentional community building. But the streamlined, essential objects they made for living—an extension of their spiritual practice—have left a lasting impression.
