Synopsis:

More than an extremely popular decorating trend, country style is a way of life that's cozy and comfortable, casual and down-to-earth. Brimming with more than 350 breathtaking color photos that showcase the best of international country style, this invaluable decorator's guide combines the best of the old and the new. Inside, you'll find fabulous ideas for bringing the colors, patterns, and textures of country to the house and garden, from the cheery blues and yellows of Provençal fabrics and the earthy terra cottas of Italy to the floral chintzes of English armchairs and the graphic beauty of Amish quilts. See how to mix rustic furniture and antiques with comfy upholstered pieces and treasured flea market finds, and how to add architectural details such as rustic ceiling beams, stone flooring, or fireplaces. The result: a warm and welcoming home.

Synopsis: Celebrate the simplicity and respect for tradition that characterize classic country style. Here, in this remarkably handsome, lushly illustrated volume, are inspirational photographs, ideas, and looks that exude comfort and warmth. Four traditions receive loving and detailed examination-French, English, Italian, and American-but whether it's a quaint Tuscan villa or a sprawling ranch in Montana, the themes of family, home, community, and nature remain constant. Find fresh ways to use the country colours, patterns, and textures at home, be it the cheery blues and yellows of Provencal fabric, earthy terra cottas of Italian floor tiles, floral chintzes of English armchairs, or graphic beauty of Amish quilts. Try combining rustic furniture and antiques with comfy upholstered pleces and flea market finds to add a sense of history to every room, or add architectural details such as ceiling beams, stone flooring, or fireplaces.
