Take a tour of comfortable and charming farmhouses, presented Country Living style. Breathtaking photographs, accompanied by marvelously in-depth information, reveal the myriad ways these old-fashioned homes can fit beautifully into our modern-day lifestyles. While the exteriors of these houses all retain their strong lines and architectural origins, the interiors showcase a variety of sensibilities. See sophisticated farmhouses that smoothly combine the best of old and new; homes entirely decorated in flea-market finds; houses that serve as showcases for magnificent antique collections; and contemporary redefinitions with loft-like spaces and fashionable décor. Each profile goes room by room, carefully explaining the owner’s needs, desires, and design decisions: everything from wall treatments and light fixtures to shelving and appliances receives meticulous attention and discussion.

This review is from: Farmhouses: Stylish Decorating Ideas for the Classic American Home Country Living (Hardcover)
Quite uninspiring. The inside jacket and the foreward were the highlights of this book. I was unimpressed w/ most of the rooms, it seemed like it was put together quickly....certainly not one of my favorites. Many rooms looked unfinished to me. The book does look nice on my coffee table....that's about it.
