Country Style

Whether you are a newcomer to the country look or a long-time admirer, you can use this book as inspiration for decorating--or simply accessorizing--your own home. You will find rooms that display an effective mix of fine antiques and contemporary pieces, and those that are furnished with period reproductions. There are rooms that are intentionally spare, designed to display one or two valuable heirlooms, and rooms that overflow with flea-market finds, decoys, and quilts. Still others--decorated with lace, bric-a-brac, and richly upholstered furniture--embrace the flowery romanticism of the Victorian era. Yet despite their differences, every room in this book shares a common bond: the warmth that is the hear of country style.
