About this title

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 colors, patterns, and textures at home, be it the cheery blues and yellows of Provençal 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 pieces 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.
