For those of us that prefer a decorating book with simple charm, mismatched furniture and personal treasures this is the book for you. Defects are not obscured as they would be in a decorating book featuring American homes. No perfectly matched furniture or picture perfect rooms are shown. Includes lots of photographs and plenty of text. A pleasure to read.

I love this book. I have followed every Victoria magazine and book since day one. I immediately made it my goal to be featured on the pages of Victoria Magazine. My dream came true June 92, and was the cover story. This book if full of wonderful decorating ideas, fabulous photographs and always gentle writing to put you in the mood, to sit quietly, sip a cup-o-tea and imagine yourself on the pages that are appealing to your sensual pleasure. I have always love decorating, and my own book on victorian chic style will be coming out this Fall. Again, thankyou Victoria Magazine for yet another inspirational and exquisite publication. Keep them coming.

I loved the photographs, I'm about to remodel a cottage and it gave very good ideas. The photographs look real, not something pre-fab for the book. The text was clear, simple and to the point. It was also a good idea to devide the book in sections, it might be very conventional but it really works as a practical guide when you want to draw ideas from the book. The philosophy behind country living is stated clearly both in the text and in the photogrpahs.

Book broken into sections: Hearth, Sheds, Outdoor, Living, etc. Limited usefulness
