Editorial Reviews

From Library Journal

The new country style shown here is a pared-down, light-filled look. Divided into themes such as cottage, rustic, and eclectic, the book offers numerous color photographs accompanied by decorating tips. Each chapter concludes with the editors' advice on how to achieve each look. Well suited for public libraries.

5.0 out of 5 stars If you love country style, you have to have this, May 21, 2001

By A Customer

This is a must-have for any country style lover. It isn't a look back but an up-to-date look at where the style is today. I found dozens of ideas for updating the country style I have loved for years. I was especially pleased to see that Mary Emmerling (a sort of country guru) was involved in this book and wrote part of it.

5.0 out of 5 stars If you love country, you have to have this, May 11, 2001

I am not a Country Home magazine subscriber (although this book suggests that I ought to become one), but I first saw this book at a book store where I sat down and went through it page by page. An hour later, I realized that I was still sitting there not wanting to put the book down, so I ordered it from amazon (better price). The book is is a large size with lovely heavy paper and gorgeous BIG photos showing a variety of current country looks (romantic, modern, traditional). This is one of the prettiest and most inspiring books I have seen in a long time. Highly recommend.

5.0 out of 5 stars A lovely getaway book. Also see Second Home., June 6, 2001

By	Alix Leonard (LA, CA) - See all my reviews

This is a book to escape into. As a designer, I appreciate the well-designed homes and interiors and the fact that this book puts a fresh 2001 spin on a classic design style. It looks to me as if most of the featured homes are vacation or weekend homes, which may explain the casual,freewheeling feeling that the photographs impart. This is one of two favorite books on my reading table at the moment.

The other favorite is another yummy getaway book - called Second Home - which shows a broader range of home and interior design styles, all set in fabulous getaway locations.
