Review
With lots of full-color photos and plenty of pattern diagrams, Country Decorating provides full directions for more than 80 projects that can, according to the subtitle, Add Country Style, Charm & Color to Every Room in Your Home. Curtains, pillows, blankets, lampshades, frames, shelf edging, tablecloths, decorative accessories, and many other articles can be found here. Refreshingly, most projects avoid the "cute" country look in favor of cozy elegance. (There's even a striking set of items done in Hungarian applique, a sophisticated combination of white on black.) Many of the projects require little or no sewing. Others require more extensive use of the sewing machine, but a decent introductory section reviews all the basics and offers tips for professional-looking finishing touches.
